HEI/ Oil pump
Hey guys,
Does the chevy HEI unit have a rod that sits in the block to spin the oil pump? I found an HEI unit at the scrap yard, but I'm not sure if I need anything else.
The Pontiac engine I took out of the car had a rod that connected to the gear at the bottom of the distributor shaft that then reached down to the oil pump (I assume). Does chevy use one also? Or does the gear on the distributor unit itself connect to the oil pump?
Any help much appreciated.
I won't agree or disagree on your opinion of comp cams, but when I put a new cam in the 350 in my 76 Vette I went with Howard's and have not been disappointed. With the junk coming out of China these...
