Paul,

you are correct with the oil situation on the pump drive. The oil going

to the pump

also lubricates the pump drive. My adapter has the appropriate bypass to

still

provide this function. The test sample you had seen at Shady Bend did not

have the

bypass.

The final configuration adapter will become available in a few weeks. One

item

still open is that I do not have a running engine available at this time,

if

anybody out there wants to put it on an engine, let me know. Nothing need

to be

modified on the engine.
The adapter has been tested to provide the same quantity of oil as the

original

installation.

I will be doing a fairly irritating repair very soon - replacing the oil
pan gasket.  If you had a prototype that you'd like to test out, I'd be
more than willing to help test.  Engine is a 1991 13BT, but it is in a car.
Don't know if that's against the rules or not :).
