    Does any one sell a drive I can use to drive the oil pump on my 72 455 GS that would be driven by a drill motor to check for oil pressure?

    I use an old distributor case and shaft - shaft fits a 1/2" drill.

    I use a stock BBB distributor housing with a sbc shaft. The sbc shaft is longer and a little easier to get the drill on.

    If you use an old distributor make sure to pull the shaft out a little when you put the drill on it - so it is NOT pushing on the oil pump shaft. That would cause the gear to push into the cover and wear into it.
