    Paid $100 + shipping 2 years ago, ended up getting a different engine and no longer need this. It hasn't done anything but sit in a box on a shelf.
    Fits 400, 430 & 455.
    Asking $70 + the ride.

    I know, I'm impatient. Usually things either get snapped up quick, or they don't sell.....that's all.

    TA Performance, now let's all support TA Performance because they are one of the few remaining Buick speciality shops, and they know and actually use what they sell, check out their Oil Pumps page:
    http://www.taperformance.com/products.asp?cat=179

    TA Performance warns against too much pressure and volume, especially for a common street engine or simple rebuild. Go with this one for most applications:
    Product ID: TA_1508
    455 OIL PUMP STOCK REPLACEMENT
    KIT
    Fits: 1967 -1976 Buick big block 400-430-455
    Stock Type Oil Pump repair kit
    Price: $34.95

    TA Performance sells high volume, high pressure oil pumps. These oil pumps increase oil circulation by using 1/4 longer gears. These are ideal for severe duty applications, and engines with excessive bearing clearance. TA Performance strongly recommends the use of a stock relief spring or the TA 1502 adjustable regulator when using hi-volume, hi-pressure oil pumps.

    ! WARNING !
    TA Performance does not recommend high volume, high pressure oil pumps for most combinations due to the increased load they apply to the front of the camshaft. This extra loading can lead to excessive wear on the distributor gear and drive gear, distributor gear pin breakage, and front cam bearing failure.

    ALSO RECOMMENDED: The composite material distributor drive gear from BOP Engineering in Wisconsin:

    Check out TA Performance and BOP Engineering, when you get the chance, and help keep our Buicks going!

    Thanks, take care.
