Which One??????????????
I am buying an oil pump for my 1981 coupe. I have two choices, but don't know which one is better. The choices are, Melling or Clevite. What are your preferences?
I don't want to deal with my local dealer to get a GM part and the prices on the Melling and Clevite are very good. Thanks. :seeya

Melling high volume. :yesnod: When you get the pickup positioned correctly, have it tack welded in place to insure it will stay. The one I got came with the pickup alreadt tack welded on.
