Room for days and days and days................

I am bewildered by what all the hub bub is about doing an oil pump or pan gasket in the car. 
remove starter, motor mounts, raise engine and it drops down a whole bunch.

oil pump & starter on order.

Bench testing an oem 302 oil pump just for the sake of saving it as a spare or not.
if i can get a gear set,, i will save it back.

So,, as advised earlier,,, getting a new pump turned out to be the best choice here.  I did not go with a high volume ,, just a standard.

I did mis- identify the year of the casting number on the pump housing,, begs for forgiveness, C2xx would be 1962.,,, not 72.
