I don’t know if your car has a Long Clutch in it or not. If it does here I

is a site with parts.

Ric, send me a photo of the pressure plate you are refering to, I’m 99% sure I have a parts clutch I and sell the clutch pressure plate out of.

The round cover with 4 screws on the back of the block is the cover for the camshaft bearing bore. I’d remove it, clean out the accumulated crud, then make a gasket to reseal it. The drive gear for the oilpump is just ahead of the first cam bearing, it can be seen from below with the oilpump removed from the pan, or with the pan removed, The drive for the oil pump is the square steel ~4″ cover on the left side of the crankcase, just above the oil pressure regulator, and under #6 cylinder. This cover is also the bearing assembly for the pump vertical shaft drive and gear that engages the camshaft.

If you just aquired the car, i would HIGHLY recommend removing at least the oil pump, prefferably the oil pan, and cleaning out the accumulated dirt, sludge, grime etc. The oil pump sits in the bottom of the pan, and all the accumulated crud starts to get deep, and cover more and more of the screen over the oil pump. eventually starving it for an oil supply.

If you don’t have one, i think I still have some copies of the illustrations from the Series 80 parts manual, the illustrations are invaluable for the owner to work on one of these cars. Or you can get a copy from the AACA Library, but save som money, only buy the illustrations, the part number listings are obsolete, and just a curiosity.
