Oh, ok then it makes sense that I did not get oil from this when I tried earlier. I did drain the oil out and used my camera up through the drain plug hole and verified as best I could that the sump was still intact and had not moved. It was still in the holder and it was west from the bottom up quite a ways.
So some good news is all of the new pump cover and parts are back in with the CORRECT gasket. I put fresh 10w30 Break In Oil in(5qts) and using the new WIX filter. It started to build oil pressure within a few seconds of hitting the drill button. Ran it at 65 PSI for about 10-15 minutes making sure rockers were getting a bath. All looked great. Left it alone for 20 minutes and went back to use the drill again and I immediately got 65 PSI of pressure. So it was either the previous filter or that port blocked off before and the gasket was kind of flapping over the channel. That could explain why it had oil pressure at first then zero?
Anyway thank you to everyone for your excellent suggestions, it is much appreciated.
