    Oil pump drive ratio

     



    Just wondering what the ratio is on the oil pump. I know that the cam is 2:1, but what is the ratio from the cam to the pump.

    Not working on anything as of now, but the engine I am wondering is a Chevy 350. I am trying to figure out a oil volume problem.

    Oh, and thanks for the quick response.

    since the pump runs off the distributor shaft, it runs half crank speed.
