oil pumps

[Jon Wangelin <jwangelin@domain.elided>]

I had the same question as Al, but I took a chance anyway.  I have a '66
800 w/196.  Recently I had a ring job done on the engine, the JC Ripoff
oil pump seemed to be a fair price so I bought it.  The two seemed
identical and it seems to be working still (~200miles on engine).

         Digesters:  I am a little confused on oil pumps, why does
     the JC
         Whitless list a new oil pump for IHC engines and show
     (except scout and pickups)? I have heard that if you put a 392
     in a scout you must use the pan and pump from the original
     scout engine,why?  It would seem that if a pump will work in
     one 345 engine it should work in another no matter what
     vehicle it is installed in.  Confused in Oklahoma.
