Hey all.

Still waiting on my "20480" Moroso oil pan to get done at the powdercoating shop and I'm looking to start putting together the pick-up to the pump

What size bolts and lenght do I need to connect it. Will just a regular bolts from Home Depot work? I was goiong to use lock washers too. Good idea?

 

*BUMP*

Nobody knows the answer to this?

 

I would think as long as it is Grade 5 or better ...maybe some lock-tite red on the threads ...

 

I'm looking to put in the new oil pump this weekend. Does anybody know what bolt size for the pump and pick-up?

Can I re-use the bolts on the oil pump? I'm pretty sure the pick-up is press fit. I'm putting in a bolt on pick up so I'll need to know what size bolts I'll need

 

Is something wrong with the old bolts? If not use them.

 

IDK I haven't taken the pan off yet.

However the old bolts on the pickup will be a problem, because they are not there. I'm taking out the stock 330 pump and replacing it with a HV Melling oil pump and the pick-up matches the new deeper oil pan I bought

 

If you're talking about the little bolts that hold the pick up to the pump aren't they just 5/16 x 1/2 inch? I doubt the original pump has that arrangement. It's more than likely pressed into the pump body. You'll have to make a trip to the hardware store, bring the pump with you.

 

Yeah that's what I'm going to be doing. Just trying to save a trip

 

Yeah - you can't use the words "$ave" and "Oldsmobile" in the same sentence .
