...But Are Probably Way Too Proud To Ask...
The oil pumps & intermediate drives are available from Precision Oil Pumps, Clovis, CA. Their website is www.precisionoilpumps.com (http://www.precisionoilpumps.com). REALLY GOOD PEEPS WITH GOOD PRICES & WITHOUT THE TYPICAL MARK II 'TUDE.
You'll want to order the Ford 312 pump, as it's the same one used on the Mark II. You DO NOT want to order the 312 intermediate drive though. Order the FE "Girdle Bottom" drive (whatever the hell that means; probably just more FoMoCo psycho-babble) as it's the correct length. NEVER EVER believe a draft dodger or anything in the Melling's catalog; they claim the 312 & 368 drive are one in the same. NYET! Figures for the dasterdly Chi-Coms.
The 312 drive is, alas, like Tiger Woods, about 1" too short. Just ask the man, or easy woman for that matter, that found out the hard way.
Thanks be that I have a '56 Bird to stick my "shorty" in, so to speak...
