  1. ok anyone know a place to get one ?
  2. you all win in my book its the begining mech-a-nic thats a head scratcher, with me and computers a few screws left out no prob but missing pieces in a motor leads to instant fail in most cases...lol
  3. OK FIRST OFF YOU GUYS ROCK - THANK YOU! yes all caps...lol it took this long for him to relize that there was no pickup tube on his system dont know where or how it got ....not there.... lol but thinking wifey cleaning up and loseing during a move. so just wanted to say because of your knowlage of what is and what is not, he know knows the truth and knows what to do. will be posting images and more info as the project gets ROLLING again...literly vagrant tech on behalf of "dan" the man who knows alot more about the oil system then he ever expected.
  4. just relized he never mentiond the pickup tube... is this a removable part or is it part of the tube system that cant be moved? do we have an image of that? not sure if relevent but just a thought
  5. yes... the owner says it always draws from the filter though and empties it out. has no pressure guage so iv allready ripped on him for that one...and thats needed to test for pressure either way he thinks it may be flowing... his testing for flow direction led to air being blown through each port to see where it led and his is backwards compaired to what king rat said...? and yes king rat that helps a bit because iv never got confirmation on what was spose to be. his test shows large going to filter and small going to pan. :crying: and this is where he has been sitting for a few years trying to figure out what happened and or what he bought? im planning a trip to see it myself someday but as of now im going from his tests and my suggestions. im not sure how the flow path image relates to real life location of ports and upside down looking at things may be a factor as well, but the flow image seems to show other way around? it sounds like everything is doing what its spose to be doing and im leaning back toward not priming correctly or somthing along those lines... :confused:
  6. sorry for the delay but i made a page to try to explain all the issues http://lbvagrant.com/oil/oil.htm it has a video showing the flow but lost audio in the copy over. thnx again for all your help and the car owner wish's to say his thnx as well...
  7. ok got lucky and talked to the person a bit better today and got more info. to answer the question as to why changing... 1. had car for years, motor blew/seized and got a new working motor. 2. had to remove oil pump to get into body I guess and never worked after... so worked fine out of car but not once in...doh! to answer question about where bought new pump about 4-5 different places and returned them all for refund....soooo.... im thinking along the lines of not priming correctly as a few have mentioned and or the spring valve not being in correctly. I have seen the pics of correct flow and internals of spring setup and the pump itself but not the car. it looks all correct from my end but he's been stuck for a while... he even tried to make an account here and didn't work so been frustrated with that and ...that leads to me... any special notes for the prime besides fill with oil and operate pump as normal? iv been looking at different images showing a ball at the end of the pressure spring, and others with a wedge point like piece and his seems to be more pin like? im guessing pics are wanted so im having it brought back for such. and as to Doctor510's post about 500 yrs exp....duh that's why im asking.... im just trying to help him out because he's not computer savvy...so please be gentile. and thank you for all the quick responses. like I said a lot of good info and I know someone has a duh fix for this issue it just sux its his first hurdle with his first rebuild on his old friend... thnx again and hope to hear some ideas that can get him on the road again
  8. love this site and all the great info that can be found on it...too bad I cant find what I need... sooooo, on to a question.... I don't know if this is what it seems to be or if something has gone horribly wrong somewhere.... 79' 510 wagon everything was working great one day... had to replace oil pump and now it seems to pump backwards... have looked for this issue everywhere and can find nothing on it. some people have told me its a special order pump, while others have no idea about ANY other pumps for this motor. every time we try to prime the pump it draws the oil out of the filter. has anyone else ran across this issue? many have told me there's only the stock and high flow pumps for these motors and iv tried both with same results it seems. please help as the poor little car has been sitting for 8 years now ps im just a tech, 1/2 mechanic, 1/2 friend of car owner :geek:
