Oil Pump Fixed!

Ok, so the oil pump was leaking like a sieve out of the generator shaft opening. Bates came through for me again tonight, as I found the old cracked original oil pump in a box of parts. In looking at it, it became clear that there was not an oil seal as we know it nowadays. In the same box as the oil pump, I also found a new box of rope seal packing. A couple of stands of that fixed the problem quite nicely. Now to fix the major oil leak that is coming out of the front of the engine. I will say one thing, that car started right tonight. It wants to run!
