Thanks to everyone for their advice. Sorry I haven't replied, it's hard to find time during the week. I did some checks last Sat. Drained the oil, but didn't see/feel any clumps or metal bits. Didn't put a magnet in, but will see if there's anything to pick up in used oil tomorrow. I disconnected hose from block to gauge at firewall & cranked engine. No oil came out of pipe. Removed hose; no blockage. I couldn't get elbow off block. Didn't have right tool handy to get at sender. Elbow won't clear block unless it's off. Pulled the distributor to check oil pump drive, but stupidly forgot to bring a narrow screwdriver to fit in bore. Tomorrow I'll do things right, but expect a rebuild is in order; oil should be coming though that hose. At least I'll have a reason to update oil seals and clean up doghouse.
