I've just rebuilt my 302 windsor, but haven't installed the
oil pump shaft. I was under the impression that it went in just before the distributor. It seems I was wrong, but do I need to take the sump off and put it in from underneath (with the washer on) or can I just drop it down the hole into the
oil pump (without the washer) The engine is still on the stand so it's no big deal to take the sump off, but if it's not absolutely necessary, I'd rather not do it.
Thanks
