Stuart, Thanks for the reply. I have never seen one of these pumps pulled out and it sounds like it should come out in one unit instead of pieces the way I was attempting to do it. So let me get this straight. If I pull the distributor out and look down the shaft that it fits in there will be a lock nut that is holding the oil pump up to the block and if I take the lock nut loose I will be able to remove the pump from the bottom. I have allready loosened the discharge pipe but did not want to force it as the pump would not move. Thanks in advance for the advise
Tony
