Jack,
Adding the bushing to the block is a idea I had not heard of. Would that support the upper or above the collar shaft of the oil pump?

I am not an engineer, or play one on a TV, but I always thought the 2 piece shaft and the fact that the contact parts are at the distributor and the top of the oil pump helped waller out the cast and allowed the air in.

With your additional bushing in the block, it, it would help keep the shaft straight, along with the bushing in the pump body.

Why did olds and Packard use a 2 piece shaft?

As far as the parts go, If the price is right, someone might be interested. Are they all used, or any new parts for the pumps?
