I had to loosen the filter on this fresh 440 i have to get it to prime.Kinda messy but it worked for me.

when you primed the pump which way did you turn it? I believe it turns counter clockwise. You can open up a cap on your valve cover and you should be able to see oil spouting around in there while your priming. If not you may have a blocked oil passage.

you need to prime the pump inside the block. counterclock wise with a long hex head rod through the distributor hole. remove the distributor drive gear with a screwdriver and put the rod on a nice drill and start it up till it feels like its getting tight. then you'll have it primed.

welcome to the FBBO forum ,Just wondering if you had enough clearance between the bottom of the pan & oil pump pick-up, The pumps are pretty simple if installed correctly they will work well.

Yeah, I'd check the rotation. Otherwise does it have an oil pressure relief spring and valve?
