Re: V8 oil Pump ID?

Hi, Brian,

Thanks for recapping all those bulletins in one post.

FWIW, most of the engines from junked cars I pull down have the original oil pump. I seldom ever find one with the plug or dip tube installed or with the second design oil pump.

It can be inferred the combination of being an orphan with a Twin Ultramatic sent many cars to an early death, while the few cars in good enough condition to be restored had better dealer maintenance or the owners are researching the problem and fixing it the second time around.
