I thought the OP said he read ~3 lbs. pressure when he primed it.. So his gauge is working..
I would do as mentioned above: Remove one valve cover and prime until oil comes out of push-rod at rocker.
I'm also in the group that thinks you are pulling air through something on input side of pump.
I would not try starting it until you find the problem..

Question was the block removed or all work was done with the block in the car? just want to finf out if the (barbell is inside)
If you want to know if pump side is in good working order dis connect coils harness remove oil filter and crank it up it should pour a lot of oil out the filter area so put a container under it first. if it checks out good try another oil filter.

Oil should not pour out of the O ring sense the O ring is in the suction pump side best activity is observed with oil filter removed to see quantity of oil gushing out or if is just a dribble.
