I'm running a front mounted distributor from my jesel belt drive so I need to use a distributor button to drive the oil pump. My question is how do you line up the oil pump drive with no rotor to rotate the shaft as you drop it in? I was told that you could just rotate the crank until it lines up, but that sounds like a good way to damage the gear.

There is nothing that needs phasing so just keep rotating the pump drive till it drops in.

Okay, I can see that with the oil pan off, but what if it isn't. For example, I'm getting ready to dyno the engine, I pull the button to prime the oil system now what, pull the oil pan to line up the oil pump drive?

put a long screwdriver down the hole and turn the oil pump drive shaft a little bit at a time till the button drop's in ..........Ehand

Come on, its gotta be harder than that! I'll do that.... Thanks

I use the rotate the crank method to drop distributors in when the pump isn't lined up exactly where the distributor needs to be set, I can't see how you'd damage anything, hasn't messed up anything I've done it on.

Even installing a dizzy, I use the screwdriver deal.

Yeah, me too. I tried several times and missed every time. It's just strange not having anything to hold (the rotor) and just drop it in. Guess I just need to be patient and keep trying. It's probably one of those things that once you figure it out, it's a no brainer.

How many of your oil pumps engage bfore the gear does? As you lower it in, the shaft rotates as it engages the gear. You can line it up till the cows come home and never get the pump to engage. Just drop it in and rotate the motor by hand till it drops. It's a hell of lot easier than a dizzy because you don't have to worry about rotor placement.

Even with distributors...I get the rotor pointed where it needs to and have someone tap the key (with the ignition disabled of course) until it drops in. Usually you'll catch it on the first rev. but sometimes it take 2 revolutions.

It has a way to go still....

When you use your screwdriver to line up the shaft, just keep in mind that the dist. will rotate as it drops in due to the angle of the gear teath. just just line the pump shaft a little clockwise from where the dist is when you stab it in.Still might take many trys to get it right.
