Give me a day or two and I'll probably have an answer. You're really in the wrong chat room for this one, but perhaps you have already asked the folks at the Oliver Hart Parr group for their help. One thought comes to mind. we never try an initial start on a rebuilt engine unless we have achieved oil pressure readings with a mechanical gauge piped directly to the block. Ours is a simple NAPA unit coupled to a grease gun hose. Was the pump packed lightly with grease so it would prime? Lastly some Oliver engines were designed to run unbelievably LOW oil pressures. We had wakashaws in 55's and 550s that never went above 12 lbs. Some gages with the wrong range may seem to be showing no pressure at this level. The rest is basics. Where do you run out of fire in the ignition system? Points, coil, plugs? Let me know what you've done up till now in attempting to get it to run, also what do you mean by "rebuilt", was the engine out of the frame? Good luck and let me know how you make out.
