I was thinking I had heard that (Melling "buy out"). I remember their (DG) sales "pitch" was they tested every pump with air, to be sure it was "right". We found several (Chevy, too, not just Pontiac) with pieces of Teflon tape in them, presumably from the air lines... Take it apart and clean it. It will be fine.

Well that explains why I couldn´t find any info. Thanks!
Is there anyway to tell how much pressure it delivers?
I was aiming for around 60lbs.

Gonna take it apart and blueprint it.

Btw, do you know where I can buy some good headgaskets for a 350? 3.905 bore

Regards
Johan

I´m about to deburr and blueprint the pump, so I took it apart today and look what I found...

Small pieces of cr.p , feels like some sort of hard plastic. There was loads of them..
Wonder what they could have done if they had got into the engine
