Freshly Rebuilt 460 leaking oil
Title says it all,
I put a rebuilt 460 into my 78 about a week ago and its leaking oil around the oil filter. When it is idling it wont leak but if I drive anywhere accelerating there will be oil all over the filter, fuel pump and frame.
I get about 60 psi idling in park
40 psi in gear idling
60-70 psi accelerating
I have put 3 different oil filters on with no change.
It has a stock style oil pump.
What do you think it could be?

It doesn't have a oil filter adaptor.
Might have it figured out. Looks like fuel pump is spraying oil. I put a piece of cardboard between the oil filter and fuel pump and drove it around the neighborhood. Fuel pump side was coated, oil filter side is dry.
Bought a new fuel pump earlier, gonna install it tomorrow. It should fix my problem.
