If I could just put another "tip" here, Speedway will tell you their own brand of the Flathead pump's are made by Pioneer. Their part numbers, "OP15/OP19, are definitely Pioneer's numbers. Problem being Pioneer is no longer involved in the oil pump business and hasn't been for many years now.

All the one's they do have available MAY just be "old" inventory, but all this info leads me to believe they also MAY be off-shore pieces. There is NO way to really know??

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. We feel, again from a business standpoint only, we would much rather know EXACTLY who is mfg these pumps, it's for this reason we will ONLY use the Melling line. I have enough "connections" over at Melling to be able to get straight answers, this is much more important here than saving a few dollar on a pump. With any possible oil pump issues it's NOT an easy fix by any means on these Flatheads. I realize (and really believe) Ol' Ron's had some past issues with aftermarket pumps but we've sold literally "hundreds" of the Melling pieces and have not experienced a single issue in over 40 years, not once.
