Oil Pump DRIVE SIZE for 240 / 300 straight six???

Post by NUMA NEWBERN »

Anyone have their KNOWN (240 / 300) Oil Pump drive laying around?
Can you measure (THICKNESS) for me?

I'm trying to locate a HEI distributor, ones I find give a DRIVE SIZE as a go by, since I have NO IDEA what the 240 / 300 size is I need it to order.
Thanks

Mine is a 5/16 inch. As far as I know, they all are that size. If you do have a 1/4 inch drive and you want HEI, you should as far as I know be able to swap out your oil pump for a later 5/16 inch drive oil pump and be good to go.
