You read my mind -- in the last hour I put together a stock pump, installed and tested it. The results are interesting -- it's now 30psi cold idle instead of 60. The stock pump's crazy clearances prevent it from pumping much. I realized that it's so easy to swap pumps I might as well get some schedule relief and make it stock, and worry about it later. This weekend it has no filtration, but I'll get a stack of adapters so that I can run ALL the top-end oil through the filter, that will be better than stock and trivial. It might be that the steel end plate is fine, and increasing clearances to .010 - .015 will do it, but I'm not messing with this now. I can re-make it from cast, etc. NOT NOW! _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
