Re: [GFS] MOPAR 303--318 ENGINE QUESTION

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why do you want a High Volume oil pump?   They are normally used in 
racing engines that have had the clearance increased between the 
bearings and crankshaft to make up for the larger clearance with more 
oil.    If your clearances are stock you should look more to a High 
Pressure Pump.   If you can't find one and your old pump is good all you 
have to do is either find a factory high pressure spring or just add a 
washer behind your old spring.    .020"  thick washer used to give 
around 10 lbs more pressure.-
