292 oil pressure
I have a strange problem with the 292 in my 63 F100. When I start the engine, the oil pressure will initially jump up to about 40 psi but over the next 30 seconds will drop to zero. There is no change in the sound of the engine when it goes to zero like you would expect with no oil pressure and raising the rpms does not bring the pressure up.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Before you start it again in your diagnostic process, check the big gland nut at the pump where the inlet tube from the pan goes in. Use a big adjustable wrench and give it a half turn. There is a little barrel shaped seal back in there that expands and seals as that nut is tightened. Go easy. Half a turn should be plenty.
