I got it people!!! I had this thought this morning but was afraid to voice it lest I be wrong. I put in Marvel Mystery Oil. Good compression. Had no oil pressure from the oil system. Car started. Ok. Oil pressure begets compression. Compression begets combustion! So, I primed the oil pump like I said I would. I filled the filter to the brim and screwed it on as quick as I could. Like I said people, when the pump is air-bound, prime it! I own a running DeLorean!!!!!!!! It ran, and ran hot and beautiful off "the can" (ether). My oil pressure shot off the scale, and the light went out. I'll have to get a more accurate sender but she runs!!
