Neil,
My 1976 roadster "just let go" on the way to work one morning..no
warning!
After tear down and inspection, i found evidence that the oil pump failed..the
rest is history..look for any damage to the oil pump..measure gear clearances
with a feeler gage..be thorough..if there is any doubt,replace the pump...
Yours, H4(Howard)
