I have a new 1725 oil pump in my 1592 engine.
But not with out a bit of hack saw and oil resistant hose and stainless 
clamps. I think it was Rick that said " it can be done, just a little work" 
The original idea is to weld the pipes for that adaptation, but not having a 
gas set up , I opted to hose it. The engine has run well for over 3 years 
and with the help of a new oil gage AND pipe the oil pressure stays right..

My 2 p ,,, just abit off subject.
