Oil pump drive shaft
I pulled my MSD distributor as I decided it was about time to prime the engine since the first fire attempt is.....real soon, maybe Saturday or Sunday. It primed up real nicely and really heated up my good 3/8" Bosch drill. Pulling the priming tool out I evidently pulled the dist. drive out of the oil pump - I can turn the engine over by hand and the drive just sits there (I can't imagine that it broke as it is one of the Ford SVT heavy duty shafts).
I really don't want to pull the pan again (4th time) so am open for suggestions. My idea is to use a piece of tubing/hose to slip over the shaft and try to lift it back into place. I would have tried it already, except I seem to have tubing that is either too small or too big and a trip to Home Depot will be necessary later, that is unless someone has a better idea
