Re: A engine versus LA engine

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

The oil pump & timing gear set is the same application for the 62-66 Poly 
318 as the later 318/340 LA engines.
The early 277-318 Polys (1956-61) use a different oil pump but even these 
early engines use the same timing gear set (chain & gears).
