Re: Oil pump removal. Help!
Threw a shop guage on it, had steady psi. Ended up being the sending unit. Thanks everyone! Now for the next project

It definitely doesn't make any abnormal sounds while running or starting up. it'll smoke a little bit once I start it up but will go away once I put the choke back in. I'll try the sending unit and throw a gauge on there to see if that helps.

Re: Oil pump removal. Help!
well, i'll take it for a drive and the oil pressure will stay at 10 while coasting then move to about 20 once I hit the gas. Eventually dropping to 0 later on during the drive with or without accelerating. It may move back up to 10-15 if I let it sit for 10 minutes.

Oil pump removal. Help!
Hey guys, I'm new to the whole forum thing so bare with me. So I have just recently picked up a 76 Dodge Travelcraft in pretty great condition. The only problem I've run into so far while fixing it up is replacing my oil pump. I guess my real question would be; Am I going to have to raise my engine in order to remove my oil pan or will it drop down enough to squeeze past the cross member and transmission once unbolted? Any leads would help, thanks! -Michael
