Did you have decent oil pressure before dropping the pan? If so, there's no need to pull the oil pump. Live by the old creed, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Ok, thanks...thats what I'll do. The pump is all mechanical/gear driven, correct? I was looking around for an exploded view of the pump, but am unable to locate it. Anyone have a copy they can post of it? Just want to familiarize myself with the part...
Thanks, Rich

Yes, the pump is purely mechanical. One must remember, for all their good looks, these are basically glorified old tractor motors. Which is usually why the best guys to work on them are guys who work on old tractors. Cleaning all the gunk out of the pan and keeping that screen clean is a good thing, but taking the pump down, or apart, if it's functioning okay, is just asking for trouble when you don't have any.
All that said, I'm chasing an electrical glitch on my '29 now, so, the fun never ends! Have fun with it!
