[BIZMANRACING]

thats a very intersting point.

talking to my friends, they figured the problem was caused by the threaded rod in the intake manifold stripping the threads in the intake and over time torqueing down on the nut to "hold" the distributer in place was no longer working. so yesterday i went out to the trailor to "j B weld" in place. problem was the threads looked good. so i just changed over on to the other side of the distributer. when i pulled the distributer out the oil pump rod came with it. in truth this has really aways happened with this motor, but now after your post i don't know. what can i do?
