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

The most recent posts bring up an interesting point.

Let's say the cost of production was almost ZERO $, plus the cost of the oil pump (about $50), plus S&H, so the cost of the whole shebang was maybe $100 (dreaming here). How many guys who have not already done so would go to the trouble or expense of swapping out the oil pump, even though it can be done with the engine in the car? IMO, that is the potential market. The market starts to diminish when a price resistance is met. Very few of the previous 50 purchasers mentioned price ($250+$15S&H on eBay for kit alone) as an issue.

On the other hand, if your lifters are clattering, then you better do something about it or park your V-8 Packard.
