It turns out that the people who made the one I bought the oil pump driveshaft is 1/4" hex sized instead of 5/16" hex, and they're selling it as 351w compatible. AFAIK, the 302 is 1/4" and the 351 is 5/16"........the rest of the shaft measurments were all smaller too, so it was going to wobble too much for our liking anyway. W in the actual F? I done with those clowns, should have just gone with a Pertronix, etc in the first place........I am living the old saying 'buy once, cry once." Marked for the swap right before the above happened | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | I like the HEI I installed, but I really wish I went Pertronix...

When I suggested the MSD distributor, I wasn't trying to knock you, really did hope that one would work out. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 old hand | old hand Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 | I wasn't trying to knock you No harm no foul. I blame myself 50% for these F-ups, the other 50% I blame the current cluster-F of dealing with parts suppliers. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 Uncle Rust N Dents | Uncle Rust N Dents Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 | I wasn't trying to knock you No harm no foul.

Our USPS in VA has been so behind on everything it's absolutely ridiculous. Apparently they took on a big contract with Amazon and never should have touched it, so now they're way overloaded with packages and can't freaking keep up. Don't know if it was a national contract or state, but neighbor is a manager at one of the local offices and he has been going down to Richmond a lot to help them sort that freaking mess. I did get my new spot weld cutter bit to try 3 days early today though, so that was nice. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 Uncle Rust N Dents | Uncle Rust N Dents Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 | I don't know either, but I got a USPS package yesterday... on a Sunday. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | I don't know either, but I got a USPS package yesterday... on a Sunday. UPS came to my door on Saturday night at 9:30 to drop off some parts. I've never seen them out that late, even at Christmas time.
