<VV> Re: High Volume Oil pump

[Dan & Synde]

Hi Bill,

Never sheared off the drive pin on the distributer mounted gear but it sure
did increase the wear on the brass drive gear mounted on the end of the
crank not to mention increasing the amount of metal filings floating around
in the oil.  If I ever go to a remote oil cooler on one of my rigs, I'll
probably run a separate tilton pump straight off a deep sump oil pan leaving
the stock pump alone.
