The first oil pump failure I had in a Mopar was in a 1957 Chrysler 300C, a piece got through the strainer locking up the oil pump shearing the oil pump shaft That was 500 miles from home If it is a small block you may want to look up inside the pickup and see if there is a hole in the center of the screen like all the early Mopar V8 motors had Last edited by Cab_Burge; 03/17/12 02:21 AM.

Rubber valve seals just dont last forever. Take care, Rick 68 Coronet R/T 440 & 68 Charger 528 Hemi,and 5 Challengers! 6 cyl, 318, 360, 383, 451
