Davis,

Please explain alloy pump gears. Are the gears an alloy of steel? Where can 
they be purchased?

Thanks,

Armand

P.S. I thought Dale's comments on AMC V8 were a bit uninformed. I've been 
surfing the AMC forums lately and many of the posters on there agree with 
Mr. Martin's experience with the AMC V8 not really needing the valley line. 
Some posters have stresses how important it is to make sure the drilled 
oiling passageways have been completed full drill size. I'm thinking many 
blocks got out of ht efactory with out beig drilled to the intended full 
size and therefore we have  crank/rod bearing failures.
