Works as it should. Seller sold me a part and I paid. Just like I like it.

I bought this for my mild performance rebuild of a 350, 4-bolt main motor from a ’79 Z28. I bought this pickup at the same time I bought a new stock Melling oil pump and pickup tube. It all seems to be working well.

Melling makes great products, thanks.

A must have especially with a high volume oil pump, and the extra torque created by them. The shaft has a nice fit and finish and is very heavy duty. I paired it up with a high volume oil pump and now have PLENTY of oil pressure and piece of mind that the driveshaft wont fall apart in my newly rebuilt engine.

I searched for a bbc and got this one for a sbc. I will use it on the next motor rebuild. Looks all right

It works fine… Certainly more dependable than a plastic sleeve that’s going to become more brittle with each heat cycle.
But the shaft itself is a smaller diameter than the stock shaft and it makes it a bit tricky to stab the primer tool and the distributor but once it’s stabbed, you can quit worrying about it.

Can’t beat the quality of melling at a reasonable price. Ditch the stock plastic coupler and use the steel melling oil pump drive shaft.
Johnny Westbrook –
This part and new oil pump together, tough!!

A must for lt1 oil pump change or engine rebuild, all steel
