Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm going to have to take a trip to some wrecking yards, and hope I can find one of these that isn't too stripped, because what I need to see is the front of the engine, and the brackets up close. Unfortunately, I don't even know if the bracketry was removed to remove a bad pump, or if the wear I see from things being loose is the reason. So I could get it all back together and find the pump is bad too.

From what you are saying about the possible universal nature of the block, I guess plugging the hole as I have done is ok. I just didn't want to find out later that something was supposed to be getting oiled from that hole.

I was informed yesterday, that this undriveable car, and another one, has resulted in the owner getting notice from the city. I guess I'll have to take a run to a few wrecking yards and see what I can figure out, and get this going with whatever I can find.
