You have been at this for a week and haven’t disassembled anything.it’s time to breakout some tools check the relief valve pack the pump with anything but wheel-bearing grease. And if it won’t prime in 30 seconds or less time to pull the front cover and oil pan and pickup. And if it’s got a...

a good OBD1 code reader will work but most of us use the scan master or power logger my car with a TT chip is in that 10-11 range tell Water temp is over 150 then slowly mover to 14 around 160.

Have you checked the oil pickup gasket in the pan ? And pickup ? It’s been sitting for 15 years
