Mark,
When you remove the oil galley plug in the side of
the block remember that it's 1/8 pipe thread. Not 3/8
S.A.E.
What I do is drill a hole inan old brass 1/8"fitting
and tap it to 1/4" U.S.S.Screw the fitting in the oil
galley hole and then screw a 1/4" bolt in the fitting long
enough to hold the oil pump. then when you put the
plug back in the threads aren't fouled up.

: I recently purchased an "older restoration" 30 Tudor.I recently pulled off the oil pan to inspect the engine.My question is, When reinstalling the pan, Is the oil pump suposed to "hold" itself in the housing (block) while I line up the pan? Do I use the side hole set screw to hold the pump in place?HELP!!!
