I am trying to figure out the oil pump pickup bracket for a 292, I have a bracket from a 250 I think and it is too short so I don't know if 250 and 292's are different in this area or if the pan is different. Either way I need a longer bracket or different bearing bolt. Anybody know how this is supposed to work or if I just have the wrong bracket.
Also the bolts that hold pump to the block, I put in regular bolts that fit in the threads and they don't really hold the pump in place well. The GM parts books say they take just regular 5/16 x 3/4 bolts but it seems like they should have a collar on them. Any thoughts?
