Years ago I had a friend who said metric is the same as sae! he would use metric wrenches on everything. One day he got a 10mm stuck on a 1/2 bolt. he couldn't get it off. He then realized they do not interchange.

I had to reply to this... I'm going to show my age here. I worked in the Aero-space ind in So Cal in the 60's an 70's. I worked at a place with a then state of the art machine shop. They had N/C (numerical control) machines of all types and size's. The quality of the Programming had to be high...

I left them off.

They interfere with my TTI's.

I recently did the same with my 74 D200, 360 la with Magnum heads. I got the same kind of results as you did. Old truck still runs pretty good, I think it has to do with surface of exh manifolds.

It's $292.46 today ! Killer price.

Thank you aaronk785 !

I have never installed studs in motor before so I have no exp. Motor I have has studs everywhere in motor. I am changing oil pump and have loose studs from pump mounting. Question is this : do I put studs in finger tight and then torque nuts, or should I put Loc tight on threads ? Engine...

We rotated motor by hand and ran pump with drill and was able to see very good oil flow ! Now draining my 8 qts of expensive oil into a brand new plastic bucket so I can reuse it. At almost 8 bucks a qt, I can't throw it away. Next will be to invert motor and remove pan and install new oil pump...

I think you are correct. I have already ordered it. Melling HV Hardened shaft also. Thanks again everybody !

If you mean pics of shafts, I haven't removed one yet. My bro in law is going to help me with turning motor by hand while pumping oil. Yeah, I don't like the way the pump feels as I can move it sideways with priming rod. (part where rod fits into)

This is an engine that Mike at MRL ran on dyno. I think they are okay. There is oil on head near pushrods, I have to get bro in law to run pump while I slowly turn motor and watch for oil flow. I know it has pressure because I can feel it in drill as it turns. If I do decide to remove and check...

I want to thank everyone for their help. I inspected shaft end with hex. There was no evidence of rounding at all. The pump has a rough spot while turning with my priming tool. It was there at any rpm I tried. I have ordered a new Milodon shaft and a new Melling HV oil pump. Better to be out a...

However, I found out why it was hard to remove. Where the hex priming rod fits in oil pump, it gets stuck in there! I had to wiggle it loose and then it came right out. I could put it in and out multiple times without turning pump and it would not stick. Of course I couldn't wiggle intermediate...

Hey guys, I got it out. All it took was a bigger screwdriver and a wrench on square shaft. Everything looks ok but I am going to buy a new one. I pumped oil and took off a valve cover to check oil flow and it looks pretty!

Thanks guys, I'm trying again in morning with a bigger screwdriver.

All 66 318 were Polys. LA 318 came along next yr 67.

I am trying to run oil pump with long hex rod and drill motor. I can't get the intermediate shaft to rotate and climb up cam gear for removal. It seems to be very tight tooth engagement between cam and shaft. I tried coathanger wire (stiff) bent to fit under gear as I always have, no luck, it...

Score!!!!!!!!
