Completed the oil pump installation. Started the engine and had 75lbs of oil pressure cold and at 210F it dropped to 24psig at 950rpms. Before it was 10lbs at the same operating temp and idling rpm's. Went for a ride and in 5th gear at 1500rpms the pressure was 40 and at 2500{about 70mph} it was 50. A good deal better than it was before. Thought I would try the 20-50wt Castrol oil with 6oz of ZDDP additive and 3/4 of a quart of STP that also has ZDDP added. Was feeling pretty good about all of this then the electric fan controller crapped out. Back to the 90+ garage with the car. Will look into the controller next week. Sweated enough for one day. Was 98 in the garage when i closed the door.
