I read so many conflicting opinions about high volume vs high pressure vs regular oil pumps that I went with the standard M-72 Mellings. The cam was ground on a billet stock so I used a Hughes melonized distributor gear. The break-in oil is Joe Gibbs Driven, straight 30W. I'll switch to 5w30 after break-in.

Ahh..very nice.. when i did mine they were out of melonized.. and a old timer bout 40 years ago explained to me to never get a high pressure pump... a HV pump will get you pressure.. all that volume will make pressure just due to moving that much oil. Not sure how true it is.. but i use HV out of habit and never had a issue.. my current motor is a bottom end with unknown miles (was meant to be a temp engine) and i get 65 at idle also..
