OK, so a 21 or 23 with 6mm studs, now to find an OLD stock one as I hear the
new Schadek's are questionable these days...

Thanks

Keith

So is  RIMCO still in business? Still the place to send stuff?
Whats the story on  oil pumps for these.  they have much smaller studs so 
the
1600 pumps  aren't going to fit, what are my options?

Ill post pictures soon, I  still have to remove the rods.




I believe they're still in business. That's where I sent my last case, but  
I did it over the winter of 2009/2010.
 
You'll need an early pump, as they used 6mm studs. Check the oil port  
sizes, so you can match them up. I think the stock size gears were 21 mm,
but  
the next size up is 23 mm, followed by 26 mm. I think the 23 is a good size

though, as it offers clearance behind the fan (remember, this style of pump 
has  a flanged (lipped) face on it, not a flat style like the later pumps).
