'55 Oil pump shaft wear

Posted by portlandon On 2014/3/12 22:38:46

Here is the pump out of the engine I have. Packardv8 has confirmed in my build thread that the pump is a 1st Generation pump that has a "hash pipe" attached to the pressure relief valve, which is a dealer fix.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=23692#forumpost23692

However, the wear on the end of the shaft that goes into the distributor troubles me. What do you think? It pumps like crazy when I attached a cordless drill and put the pick up screen in a pan of oil. It shot oil across the room!
