Ok i have a 1990 5.0 and i read a couple threads on here about the oil pump shaft install and it still has me confsued..they are talking about some kind of clip!? Im putting on a new oil pump and i have my NEW 306 block turned UPSIDE DOWN on the stand...so now u have a picture...
MY SHAFT on one end has more of a pointy end to it than the other...
and closest to that end...probably about 1 or 2 inches from that end...is not what i call i clip..it seems to be PERMANENTLY on the shaft..its some kind of stop and it like flares out on all ends..anyone know what im talking about? it dosent move...and then on the other end of my shaft it is flat on the end...not pointy like the other end....and its hex all the way through..now can someone tell me if this is clip they are talking about or what? it doesnt move..
whta i need to know is how the hell this thing drops in ..which way and such...and how to tell if everythigns positioned properly? the chilton manual is always confusing man...thansk guys
