oil pump screen install
How do I install an oil pump screen/pickup? its for a '79 350sbc.
I got the tool at the auto store, but I can't figure out how to use it, there's not instructions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

I thought about a tac weld, but i'm wasn't sure if it was aluminum or not. I was going to try that. Thanks, i'll do that.

If you use a tack weld, be sure to remove the pump cover from the pump when welding on it.
Jegs sells a sheet metal device that secures the pump pickup without having to weld on it. Part #555-23620 $8.99 I have never liked welding on the pump. Vince
