A few automatics have the pump driven off the output side of the transmission, and I think some early ones actually had pumps on both input and output shafts. This maintains lubrication flow within

With some vehicles (normally-aspirated as well as blower) you will hit a point in the engine-protection strategy where the resultant reduction in spark timing, etc. ends up costing you big-time in dr

Have you tried car-part.com? They might not list the specific part involved, but look up the thing it attaches to, find some yards that have that part, then give 'em a call. John. __________________
