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

Thanks for helping me identify a "second generation" oil pump; that pump with the plugged relief valve is the one that is in my spare engine, Utica #D6478 which is bit earlier than TSB 56-20 indicates but of course it could have been changed later.

Any help with my other prior questions? Was the second generation pump really superior, and if so, how? I do have one rebuilt by Bob Aller and my 90,300 mile 56 Carib which has great oil pressure and never any tappet noise has the "opium pipe" field fix. If the newer pump was really all that superior, I might make the change.
