Craig,

respect your opinion, ,

this pump has spring set like the bottom picture, so we have the gears as an issue ,HV gears which i would of put on if they dropped in.

as your other points, will have to wait and see what happens when i get it running, i am not going to drag race, so i think pressure will be fine, i could test this pump now, but i want to get it on the road,

the egge pump i had held great pressure,,,,,and that didn't even have the PI design,

craug, i think your melling design is great, but like others i like the Packard,,

having the dist, shaft oil pump shaft on a single plane takes out the wobble, which is what the 2 piece created.

i made the tongue of shaft fit snug in dist gear, no movemnet there......
