Yup, my bad you guys have the newer style PCM / Cluster, it does take about 4-5 seconds...

No, I didn't know I had to fill the oil filter. So I pulled it and oil started pouring out. So the oil pump had definitely pumped. Plugged in the fuel pump relay, started her, and she gave me almost 3/4 on the oil gauge within seconds. All is fine! You Bonneville Clubbers rock! And I'm darn proud :2thumbup: .

Merci beaucoup!
