It might seem like an easy task, but this isn’t ‘Nam Smoky, there are rules. In this video I show you how to properly install an oil pump pick up in your engine, specifically, in a small block Chevy, but this information will apply to several engines with a press in oil pick up tube.
This video is an excerpt from a longer video where I build a 383 stroker for my 1990 C1500 pick up, #ETCGDadsTruck.
