Thank you to all who responded to my previous threads here.
I went with the Wix 51515 filter for the '92 Dynasty 3.3 as the lower radiator hose would be in the way with the 51773. The first thing I noticed about the filter is that the inlet holes are huge compared to the Fram PH16 I took off and the anti-backflow valve seems to make a much better seal. I poured in most of a 5 quart jug of Havoline 5W30 and pre-filled the filter with the rest. With the filter still off I took off the shell of the starter relay and cranked the engine for a few seconds while watching the filter mount, nothing... now I was nervous. I got inside and started the engine and let it run for 2 seconds and shut it off then got back out and was greeted by a small puddle of fresh oil on the ice (yes I cleaned it up). It Pumps! Screwed the filter on and with my fingers crossed started it again and the pressure gauge immediately showed normal pressure. It took a few minutes before the lifters stopped ticking but what do you expect when an engine sits for over a year without being cranked. After the lifters got quiet the engine once again had the sweet sound of a light timing chain rattle and the fuel injectors firing. I drove it around the block and waited for the engine to get hot enough for the radiator fans to cycle once before I shut it back off.
It looks like this just might work. I can only assume that the pump lost its prime and couldn't re-prime against the pressure of the Fram filter and that is why the gauge needle never moved while my sister had it. Once I find an oil pan that doesn't have a slow leak and isn't dented very bad I will switch back to Mobil 1.
