Paul, I found that the screen on the pick up tube was caked with varnish, and was clogged in the tube allso, It appears that once the tube cloggrd, the oil pump was still trying to pump and then sheared off the angles of the oil pump shaft. Once the oil pump end of the shaft was rounded off, the distributer end began to wear and rounded it self off also. You could pull the oil filter while the car is running and see if it is squirting out there. If the pressure is weak, you may want to check for wear on the oil pump shaft where it meets the distributer. If it is rounding off, you can probably bet the oil pump side is rounded also. Melling out of Jackson, MI. sells the shaft #IS-87, 6mmX7.44 inches. The can also be reached at http://www.melling.com. They carry the oik pump, a rebuild kit and the shafts. I'll post the part numbers after I get some sleep...
