Until one day it's not. That's what happened with my 55 Pat. Hopefully, you'll be lucky like me and have it happen right before I was driving into my garage instead of many miles away. The fix was the Olds oil pump conversion.

When I had my mechanic do the like 50,000 mile check up stuff and drop & clean the oil pan he said the oil pump on the car was not OEM (no vacuum pump side). I'm going to have to check with Randy C. who bought it from the original family, if he changed it out but I doubt it. So it must have been done during that blank spot I have from 1972 to 1985. Currently my oil pressure is "OK" and I keep one eye on the gauge, but the next time the pan drops an Olds unit from Jack is goin in.
