They don't , not the originals anyway.

Been down that path years ago

Yes we did... but luckily found what you needed at the right price

Yes I did bid on those others... but since I don't actually need them... I didn't go very high

Standard gears won't go in the HV housing either, same difference in width/length

Ended up buying a JP standard replacement. I know it's not the correct one, but Im a little concerned with using an old 2nd hand item which is so critical for the engine.

Also bought some NOS oil pump mount bolts as mine are to long.

The instructions on this specifically state not to pack the pump with grease (I was gunna use vasolene) but to prime through the oil sender hole.

Dont use old second hand shit aluminium oil pump even if they have been recoed,they are rubbish.

There's nothing wrong with the original pumps and they are a rebuildable item, but like anything else it has to be done properly and a lot aren't. Use a hand pump or something to prime that will supply pressure as you can't just squirt oil into the sender hole - once primed with oil it will crank up fine, no need for messy vasolene

Good info right there !

I can't remember the last time I purchased a new pump, I always reco the stockers.

JMHO

Yeah $395 is stretching the budget in this case.



This is as good NOS I can do...

No mate. Not painted. Just cast finish.

Excellent......

I'll give it a good spray with ACF-50 then. Thanks for pointing that out.
