All the oil pumps that i"ve seen have the spring attached to the bottom of the pump itself osing two little clamps. I've never seen a spring inside the oil pump. I don't see how you could connect an oil guage directly to the oil pump, sinc it's entirely enclosed by the engine.

: I am confused??
: The book I order my parts from offers a short and a long spring for the oil pump. The short spring is attached to the oil pan cover and presses up un the pump to keep it seated.
: It is the only spring that i found anywhere around the pump. The long spring is for the shat in the oil pump, but I cant find a diagram showing it or its position.
: Is it missing from mine or is it an option to put it?
:
: There is also a small hole which is plugged on the side of the shaft. Is that where an oil pressure guage goes?
:
: One more question.Does the oil screen work good enough or should I get one of those adapters to put an modern oil filter. If so, is there an easier way than I have seen and cheaper.
: Thanks for helping me out.
