This seems like a silly question, but how do i take the oil pump out? I unscrewed the line from the oil pump back into the black, and it won't come out. So, i figured i'd just take the whole pump out. It looks like its held in with 2 bolts through the block, but i cleaned off the head of the bolts and they have round heads! How do I get these suckers outta here!? Thanks!

a 30,000 mile UNMOLESTED original, now my daily driver! Original 6 cylinder with a rebuilt '66-'69 Saginaw 3-speed Overdrive. Synchro low! Otherwise, everything original down to the spare tire. Interior is like new. Needs paint, but absolutely zero rust.

If you remove these you will only make more problems for yourself in trying to get the pump and distributor to line up.
Get yourself a manual, also. | | |
