Alright guys, so I've replaced the relief valve in my oil filter housing, I did a filter relocate with the ADAPTER screwed onto the housing where the filter would go....I think that's how I need to do it? If not well then bam, that's my problem. My relocation kit is this one- http://www.summitracing.com/parts/prm-10618

Problem Is I have 0, no lie, 0 oil pressure. doesn't register on the manual oil filter gauge I bought. Oil doesn't even flow into the line.
I called the shop that rebuilt my block thinking they may have messed up clearance on the main bearings,, and they said because the engine was apart for so long, I might have to prime the oil pump since it has been sitting out of oil for so long.
He said to undo the oil pressure line feed, and shoot a bunch of oil down into there to prime the pump.
Is there a different spot that would be a better place to prime the pump?
Could this be the issue?

Is that with the engine running?

Either lines are hooked up backwards or you have some other issues.

I come from a land down under
I wouldn't bother pulling the pan, pump just needs to be wet to prime, pour some oil into an open hose pull the plugs an crank till pressure then reconnect the hoses the right way around
