Re: How much demand is there for PV8C oil pump adapter kits?

I'm not that familiar with this subject, how do I identify the "second" generation oil pump from the external features? Is it the one with the threaded plug in the oil pressure relief valve? If so, what else is different about it? How much of an improvement is it, and in what ways?

You could estimate the # of engines that had the plugged pump, though I don't know how good an estimate it would be. Substract 1000 from the Utica#, and then subtract that from the total number of cars made with that Utica-numbered engine. For example for Caribbeans, C-1400 minus 1000 means the change occurred at the 400th Caribbean engine. Since they made about 537 Caribbeans, perhaps 137 were made after the changeover.
