I always fill the oiling system on a newly overhauled engine either one of two ways: Remove spark plugs and crank engine until oil pressure shows. If the oil pump is run by the distributor you can make a simple adapter and run the pump with a small electric drill without turning the engine over. I also have a container made out of an old freon tank with an air pressure fitting on top and a valve and 1/8" npt hose/fitting on the bottom. I hook the hose to the gage port on the engine. Put aboout 2-3 qts. of oil in it and pressurize to 20 psi. Open the valve and it will fill all the oil galleries and prime the pump. Basic idea is have oil pressure immediately when the engine starts. Since you aren't showing pressure, don't run the engine at all until you figure out why.
