We have 2 good ones here in Tulsa.. What leads you to believe oil pump? You can change the front cover ($500) or replace the gear set ($100), but you may have more problems..

 

okdiscoguy i would love to have u guys look at it, but it would cost me 400 buck to have it towed to tulsa. The oil pressure light is on, losing power with bad nocking.

 

i wouldn't waste time or money putting an oil pump in it...

if it's losing power and knocking, you've deeper problems I'm afraid.

 

Ha ha, I don't have a shop, just a dealer with a great reputation and an indy shop. Both places trade work and have great communication.

If you have a bad knocking, you will need bearings and possibly more. Don't think an oil pump is gonna get this one.

You can get a new gear set for under $100. Not that hard to change out. You will have to drop the pan and you can roll in new bearings if you have a good mechanic you trust.. You may do all of that and still have another problem underlying. Driving with the light on will kill it in a few miles. The light comes on at 8PSI and you should be running in the mid 30's at least.
