Howdy. Having trouble finding the right oil pump drive shaft for my yblock. Neither my oil pump, nor my distributor have hexagonal drives, but the hex drive shafts are all I can find. My distributor and oil pump have tabs that should fit into a notched shaft, or maybe an adapter. Anyone have any ideas?
it is a slotted shaft not hex or adapter might try asking over on the www.y-blocksforever.com site or try http://www.ford-y-block.com/
You have the '54-early '55 tang/slot style of drive... after that production changed to the hex style. So far as I am aware, the early style is not available new. Check with Mummert for a used one as Lost Hope listed in his second link, or the board listed in his first link....someone will have one, they are not uncommon.
cool, thanks alot guys. I think my stuff might be marine stuff (the 4bbl intake I took off had no water neck.) Does the later marine stuff use the tang style drive?
get a hold of "Flat Top Bob" at owens salvage on here, just went through the same deal on a 54 239, great guy and had what i needed! 800-798-3581
