Joe -

My apologies for the dead links. The files ARE in an SC directory, but I called an "SC" file in the link when I should have specifed an "SL". The links in my previous post are now fixed.

In addition to the low oil pressure article in SC Vol. 20, No. 1, I found an article regarding a new pump design with higher volume/pressure that was introduced in production, but also provided for all 18th-21st Series Super 8s in SC Vol. 21, No. 2. The P/N for this new pump also appears in the 1948-54 parts book, but only for 22nd-23rd Series Custom 8s.

Not sure of which engine you are focusing on, I will let you decide for yourself what is appropriate.
