Nothing wrong with a little rant. I just strikes me odd as I found this forum in search of high volume oil pump gears. I was actually looking for extended gears with an extra plate. The real funny thing is, my fears of poor oiling may be unfounded. I've been told the stock AMC oil pump gears will pump just as much oil as a big block Ch#vy pump given the same RPM. No one complains or worries much about the big block. And that the real problem is the AMC oil pump is so good, it empties the oil pan during sudden acceleration and the engine then starves for oil until the oil drains back to the pan. I don't know. Regardless (until someone convinces me otherwise, any takers?) I will sleep better with a set of high voume gears and high capicity oil pan installed during my 401 build. I just need more oil in the pan than the pump can pump out while oil is draining back to the pan.
