Oil in the pan?
Pickup attached to the pump?
Spinning the pump the right direction?

master blaster got it right, turned the drill in the other direction, POOF oil every where, i hadn't put clamps on my oil relotcation lines, casue it was a temp. by-pass of the oil filter

guess i was to tired to figure that one out,  my buddy asked me " which way are you spinning it?? which way does the distrib normaly turn ? " i instatly knew that i had screwed up,

what's the next steps that i'm gonna screw up ?!
