I just re-read my post - to be clear, I wasn't stating that your engine was cavitating. Specifically directed towards the hacked up cobbled together engine b4 it ate itself up.
Hope you get it squared away...

What distributor and intake are they, did you check the clearance on the oil pickup to pan ? pump might be cavitating if its to close to the pan, spinning it on a drill is much faster than at idle.

its a msd I can’t give the model off the top of my head. The intake is a edelbrock rpm air gap. I haven’t check clearance on the oil pick up it’s a milodon pan and they’re oil pick up. I use the same set up pan and pick up on another motor with no issue. Not ruling that out tho

The tang is beat up it is not engaged enough that's why there is no oil pressure. It needs a slip coller distributer. The tang is rounded over on the drive side
