The 6 hole pump seems to have ended around '76 or so. The 5 hole pumps have a thicker rotor in them.

| Post subject: | oil pump holes..5 or 6 |
I am replacing the oil pump on my Slant Six (1974). I was able to locate a NOS oil pump from a dealer here in Calif. The NOS has 5 holes whereas the original pump 6 holes. I have read it is okay to use the 5 hole pump without any trouble. Comments appreciated... |

I think Doc was trying to put together a list of the years/vehicles that got the six hole pump vs the 5 hole pump. My '87 truck's original pump had 5, the hi-vol pump I ordered from the dealership only had 5 holes drilled, but there was a bung to drill a 6th. My block only has provisions for 5 holes. At any rate, you will be fine using the 5-hole pump. ( I believe the sixth was eliminated because it was determined to not be necessary) -S/6 |

Rotor thickness is related to the number of holes, 6 hole pumps have the 5/8 thick rotor, 5 hole pumps have the thicker 7/8 rotor. Either one works fine as long as the gear holds-up. DD |
