So, I go to prime the oil pump on my freshly built SBC today and it appears the shaft of the oil pump is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too short. There is about atleast a 6 inch gap between the pump shaft and distributor shaft. :confused: I know the pump shaft is supposed to come up just under the cam gear to be driven by the distributor. Is there supposed to be a "midway" shaft that joins the distributor shaft to the oil pump shaft or did I get the wrong melling M55 GM pump. Once again, the joys of hotrodding.
