Just an update on my "no oil pressure" problem. I just received my new oil
pump and compared it too the old one which was not bringing up pressure. I
found that the shaft on my old pump had been pushed down farther into the vane
which is attached to the shaft. I could find no evidence of the vane being
pinned to the shaft. I don't think it was pinned. (background is that I had
changed the position of the distributor by pulling it and the skew gear out,
and then re-inserting them both without thinking that it wasn't locked in with
the oil pump shaft) when i bolted the distributor down it apparently pushed
the oil pump shaft down into the vane.
I was surprised that the old pump
wasn't pinned. I'm thinking maybe it was a cheap replacement? Others might
want to check when you have your pan off to see if yours is pinned or not.
Now i can't wait to get on the road!! We're having a glorious fall here in
iowa.
