Oil pump install question.

Mattax said

The AMC 360 (and prob all the engines in that family) has a little plastic button riveted into the bottom of the pickup.

@FlDart360 One other tip. When installing the pump to the block make sure it stays seated until the bolts are tight.

I forgot about that. I've seen engine come in with the button still on and the pickup .375 off the floor. And they wondered why they need an extra quart and a half to keep the oil pressure up on the big end after a pass.

Had some BBC's come through with the same complaint. It's a problem.
