Well this weekend was productive. Now that I have the engine on the engine stand, I began tearing everything down which includes p/s pump, tranny cooler, water pump, water pump housing, generator, intake manifold,carb, & oil pan. I removed the oil pan and went looking for anything fun like metal shavings or chunks of mystery metals. Nothing but oil, and the bottom of the pan that is usually full of sludge was pretty clean.

I removed the oil pump and snapped some photos as instructed by the V-8 gurus here. I am loading them here to ask which style it is. Early, late or mystery?

It has an AC casting on the bottom and the numbers #440662.

Let the autopsy begin!
