<VV> Oil Pumps

[Roger Gault]

I have had a high flow pump on my 140 for about 100K miles with a stock
distributor.  No problems in this daily driver.

Not much benefit either - just seemed like a good idea in my youth.
Actually, the engine is getting pretty tired and the oil pressure when hot
and at low RPM is getting lower, so it's probably keeping the oil pressure
up some.
