I still suggest removing the remote oil filter setup and see if you still have the issues.

Is there a setup for the block that will clear long tube headers? I have the remote setup right on the firewall, lines are just barely 10" long so I dont see how it would really cause this issue? those lines should only hold 0.25 quarts and the filter is about 0.75

I'm not sure either, I would have to look at it in person, but it's the only remaining item that hasn't been tried. Could be the lines, fittings, filter housing, filter, or block plate.

Is it possible you have the lines crossed, and your pump-out is going to the filter-out side?

No sir not possible, in my younger days I have done that (a prior engine) and it will have 0 oil pressure in that instance haha. Other issue I have is I do have a lakewood scatter shield on it so I think that kind of blocks any possibility of a filter on the block from what I can tell.

I'm with you on only remaining item. I used to have the old school Hydraulic lines with the filter up on the fender and have since swapped to all Earls fittings which are supposed to flow much better.

Just wondering if I have somehow have an oil galley plug problem internal to the block somehow? Just doesn't make sense I seem to be the only one having a starvation issue.

Lakewood, thing there are some angled spacers and different housing that might allow you to use the OE adapter, check ram air restorations, believe they have some.

I used to trim my lakewoods, I would trim off the entire flange along the bottom, those things hang too low anyway, so the OE adapter was never an issue for me.
