Well we'll see how long it lasts, I'll be happy if it lasts the rest of this season lol.. Apparently people have had luck with the part # I ordered.. Thanks for the information..

Thanks I'll check out my local store. Also the float I ordered is plastic.. Thanks

So im going to pop by a local gasket / seal business to see what they suggest and see if they can make me one.. thanks guys I'll keep in touch

Yeah, that's sounds like a better plan. I should be receiving my new float tomorrow.. Seeing I don't have a new seal I was thinking of making a seal out of cork material.. Not sure if you could order the seal by itself .. Thanks

Hey guys. I pulled the sending unit lastnight and the float was trash, so I ordered a new float, and hope to reuse my old original sending unit.. Thanks

Hey guys, anyone have luck with this sending unit? Need one for my 68 barracuda. Thanks for any advice

What did you find?

Hey guys... just a little update, I got the HV pump on. Now warm at idle I'm 25 PSI , ( I'm also running 10W 40) The clacking noise at idle now seams to be alot better. I still have to go over the timing, I was rushed to take my son to hockey so just set it to the old marks I made on...

This is the gasket I'm talking about, If no gasket , do you recommend any sealant or just dry? Thanks Kim

Yes Steve ..oil pump to block gasket..

Hey guys .. So the new HV melling oil pump shows up at my house today,...both my kids are over at friends.... I played my cards right with the Wife and got the night to work on the cuda.. I open the box inspect pump , then go to look at the gasket thinking " I hope its not ripped" Wouldn't you...

Hey guys... I should have my new HV pump in a few days.. After I install my new pump should I pull the distributor and prime the pump? Thanks

Thanks guys for helping me out with this issue. I've already looked into ordering a HV pump. Just looked at my paper work and I installed a Sealed power std pump when I put the engine together.. I'll do a update once I get it on. Thanks

I do remember the machinest calling me because he got the wrong set of bearings , so I brought a set back to speed shop and they ordered me a different set. I'll see if I have any paper work on that. Thanks guys

Bearing sets that they used.

I ended up finding the paper work from the machine shop. Looks like they just polished the mains and rods.. It would have been nice if they would have stated the specs.

I guess that's a good place to start.

Possibility..I had the shortblock built 8 ish years ago. I've only put a few hundred miles since.. I can not remember exactly what he did with the mains and rod bearings.. I'll have dig out the receipts . Thanks

Thinking about it now that's how I did my Dart.. Thanks Rusty

No problem, kinda hoping I have to so I get my hoist back from my buddy lol

Is it possible to remove the oil pump without lifting engine? 1968 factory 383 with stock mounts and exhaust manifolds, Last one I did I had to lift engine 1968 big block Dart with Schumacher mounts and headers. Thanks

I have my stock purple valve springs and keepers look good condition, is it worth me popping those in for the heck of it? Thanks

It is a std ( new) volume oil pump.

Brought up to operating temperature 13 PSI , 900 RPM https://youtube.com/shorts/qnK8XmDD1cE?feature=share

Cold start . 45 PSi , 900 RPM https://youtube.com/shorts/YUHAz3EmwGA?feature=share

I'm going to try to upload a video of cold and warm clip. Thanks for the advice

I will check that out today.. Thanks

It's a 4 speed I have the factory tach, idle is around 1000 rpm thanks

All you guys keep guys like me in the game.. Thanks

I agree. If I was 25 PSI warm at idle I think I'd be pleased.. I think Max is onto something concerning my combo. Thanks
