Default Hi volume oil pump

Is there such a thing? over the years Ive heard them mentioned,but have never known anyone to have had one.found this on ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPORT...Q5fAccessories
Ive never worried much about pressure, just flow after reading all the posts here and what with the weight oils we use..I simply use a clear return line,no gauge or light.

Since I have never heard of such a pump, I have to think the seller just decided to 'spruce up' his description a bit.
Sounds good doesn't it? I don't think so myself.............

They are referring to the 72 and later pump body, which can easily be retrofitted all the way back to K models. It has a bigger gear and pushes more oil.

Are you sure that it is -72 and later pump...
There is pump (=pump body) for pre -67
then 1967-76 OEM#26204-67 (this can be fitted on earlier models if later gears are substituded)
then there is 1977-85 OEM#26204-75 or 26197-83 witch is totally different.
Breather valve gear has changed...several times
1952-55 OEM#26331-52
1956-59 OEM#26331-56
1960-71 OEM#26331-60
1972-76 OEM#26331-72

Then there is Scavenger gear and Idle gears

Yep, I'm sure.

Here are the -72 parts that are different.

OIL PUMP BODY 26214-72

SCAVENGER GEAR 26351-72A

IDLER SCAVENGER GEAR 26317-72A

FEED GEAR 26323-52A

IDLER FEED GEAR 26322-52A

BREATHER GEAR 26331-72

SPRING 26364-72

Bills offers these parts (oem NOS) as a kit--everything you need to convert your pump to a 72 and later version, but you can simply swap the pumps instead. You can identify the newer pump by the casting number (-72) on the oil pump body.

If you follow the bidding on ebay, you'll notice that the -72 oil pump always goes for a lot more money.
