57-76 Oil Pump - Individual Parts and Pics

1957-E1962

  • All these use 16t gear sets and style 1 plumbing 1)
  • The production changes made during its run: 2)
    • 57-e58 baseline pump that all others came from. no oil seal. uses a snap ring and a full profile woodruff key at scavenge gear.
    • L58-59 same as above but now has body machined for a oil seal.
    • 60-e62 same as L58-59 but the retaining ring at the scavenge is replaced by half moon retainers. The scavenge drive gear is counter-bored for these half moons and the woodruff key is shortened so it won't interfere with the half moons.

L1962-1971

  • All these used 14t gears & scavenge sets got taller than the previous 16's were. 3)
    • All use half moons and shortened key on scavenge drive.
    • Bodies made till '66 are for style 1 plumbing.
    • In '67, the body gets tapped for the external feed fitting for use on 67-69 XLH. This is when style2 plumbing started.
    • Bodies tapped for style2 were still used on the last 3 yrs (67-69 xlch) of style1 cases.
    • A plug is put in this new hole if body got used on a style1 case set.

1972-1976

  • These go back to 16t gears and a snap ring with long key 4)
  • Feed gears are the same as 57-e62 but the scavenge set is now wider again (wider than any of the previous sets).
  • Breather gear gets enlarged slots in it. 5)
  • Breather timing:
    • Open 20-25 deg ATDC Front CYL 6)
    • Close 85-90 deg ABDC Front CYL 7)
  • Body and breather housing get an extra hole (2 holes now) drilled in them for additional return capacity, cases also get extra matching hole. 8)
  • Solid feed gear drive pin gets replaced by the hated roll pin. 9)
  • Dowels between body and breather housing are now history. 10)
  • Each complete pump breaks down into these components: 11)
  1. Breather or sleeve gear-has the 2 slots in it
  2. Breather gear housing- cast iron part that breather rides in
  3. Feed gear set and drive pin (the skinnier of the 2 gear sets)
  4. Pump body
  5. Scavenge gear set and drive key and retaining clip.

Check Spring

There were 3 springs used from 52-76. 12)
(52-56 also used a second valve- pressure relief).

  1. 52-E57: (26363-36)
  2. L57-E72: (26364-57)
    • Wire length: 1-15/64“ 13)
    • Wire O.D.: ≈ 0.0250” 14)
  3. L72-76 (26364-72)
    • Wire length: 1-7/16“ 15)
    • Wire O.D.: ≈ 0.0250” 16)

This is suppose to be a NOS 67 Pump Spring.
L = 1.215“ Wire Gauge = .024”
