Re: Mopar 383 engine tech

Try a new pump or drop pan to see if pick up is "sludged" etc. up. Had the same thing happen to me new pump fixed it.  Oil goes from pump to passenger side lifter galley.  Oil feeds mains from pass. lifter galley then up to cam. Oil goes from pass. galley across rear of block to drivers side lifters.
