oil pump drive shaft question

[65ShelbyClone]

Right. By "coming out with the distributor" I meant coming out of the oil pump an falling into the pan as a result of the shaft grabbing the distributor upon removal. I should have been a little more clear.

The "E" clip is not an e-clip, but a little stamped steel collar that slips tightly over the distributor end of the shaft(on the oil pump side of the block). It is just there to keep the shaft from coming out with the distributor and possibly falling into the pan. The shaft shouldnt need to be removed unless the pump is being replaced(or it snapped, in which case the pump still needs to be replaced).

I think that the collar is visibile in this image.

My drive shaft looks nothing like those, and it did come out with the distributor...anyway, all I care about is who that girl is that Historic keeps treating us with...

Was actually having her tie it back for the photo. We have some very young viewers here at StangNet.

I'd like to see a full-size photo of the previous girl you had in your avatar.

I don't think I would have skipped the HD drive if I knew 351w used a larger diameter driveshaft. I would not build a 302 with a stocker, but a 351 with stock pump does not need it IMO.
