I have bought a bunch of parts from him and everything was great and just as he said in the description, plus his shipping is fast, his parts coming from turkey got here faster than parts i got from NY.

I see your new oil pump is for an M-37. This may be a military application. Milatary oil pumps have an offset where the distributor tang connects to the oil pump. This was done so the distributor can only be installed one way. Inspect it when you get it.

Terrell Machine in DeLeon, Texas sell his new for $95.00 ad his shipping is a lot cheaper. You can find his ad in Hemmings under Chrysler Parts in the front part of the book, it is a one column ad along the edge of the page, top to bottom.

I received my oil pump this week and all looks good. I do not see an offset like Don stated. I have not pulled my old one out of my car but I think it is the right one. Should I pull the cover plate on the new one and put some sealant under it for some added security to prevent any future leaks or just leave as is?

Here is a quick tip from Vintage Power Wagons on replacing an oil pump ; " It is very important to prime the oil pump prior to installation . Before you start the engine , remove the oil pump and completely submerge oil pump in clean oil . Turn the shaft by hand until there are no more air bubbles . Reinstall the pump with a new gasket . Fill the engine with fresh oil . Disconnect the coil wire and crank the engine until you have pressure on the gauge . Reinstall the coil wire and start the engine . " This doesn't answer your question , it just adds to your knowledge . I think that they are talking about the gasket between the pump and the block . I wouldn't disturb the other gasket , but that is just my guess .

You are correct, if you removed the bottom plate after priming then the prime would be gone. Those are the same instructions that are in the manual and they are refering to the gasket between the pump body and the block.
