No Oil Pressure

Even though the car is running, it had no oil pressure. So, I took a look at the oil pump. It appears that Bates had one custom made out of a solid piece of aluminium to replace the original. Nice, but he made a mistake. There is no oil seal on the shaft that comes out of the generator to drive the oil pump. So after I packed the pump with vasoline to prime it, and started it up, oil started coming out of the shaft. At least I had oil pressure! Now I have to figure out how to seal it. No biggy. I am sure I will figure out something.
