ARP Hardend oil pump drive
Here's the deal,
when I pulled out the oil pump, I decided to upgrade the pump drive to hardend. So I tapped off the old drive and when my new shaft came in I went to install it. I remember the old one being snug on the internal oil pump gear spindle, but the arp sleave just seams be sitting on the spindle, and the shaft wobbles around. Is this thing supposed to be that loose? Is't it suppossed to sit tight on the rod?

It's the same size down the entire shaft and the sleeve is seperate and held on by a rollpin, I dont especially like the pin but theres probably no way possible for it to go anywhere. The stock shaft is fine except for the plastic sleeve that will eventually crumble from the heat and also the shaft can come out with the distributor and fall in the oilpan.

never a problem with a Mellings hardened oil pump drive from my local Autozone.
They sit on the oil pump freely too.

The Melling is half the cost of the ARP, not that the ARP is all that expensive but it is a $6 savings you can put towards some beer or something to calm you down when you start getting frustrated with some silly little part.
