Oil pump question?

[chevymotorhead]

The rod that goes to the part that the arrow is pointing to in the pic, do you need to put anything between there to help hold them togather?

there is a sleeve that the drive should have on it . if hi hp oil pump it will be steel or plastic for stock pumps

[chevymotorhead]

Hey pat thanks for the reply.

[chevymotorhead]

Is there suppose to be a sleeve or does the rod just slip into the groove.

[pat mccarthy]

on the oil drive should be on it. this keeps the drive from moveing and whipping out this sleeve get press on to the oil pump drive shaft not the pump

[chevymotorhead]

I called my friend and he said there isn't one on his. Does he need it, and if so where can he get this part?

[pat mccarthy]
