Oil pump screen

[David H.]

I am not finding anything on this in the usual search areas so maybe someone know this.

What is the correct part number for the oil pump screen (pickup) on my '62 327/340hp Corvette engine? Bubba must have fixed mine as it has a piece of heavy gauge steel wire attached to it on one end and under the screw holding the pump to the engine. Thanks!

Re: Oil pump screen

My parts book shows Group #1.656, and part number 3764113, as being the correct screen for 58-62.

Re: Oil pump screen

Thank you Lynn, is that specific to this engine or does it cover all V8's generically?

Re: Oil pump screen

All Corvette (V8) applications from 58-62 used this part number, they show a different part number for 55-57, and later applications. I had seen a recent thread (that I searched for and found last night) started by Joe L. about how the pick up used was the same from 1963 to 1995 on all Corvette small block applications (that is #3830080). I was curious how this differed from the 58-62 part, but that gets into a whole different topic.

As Lynn mentioned, the oil pick-up/screen assembly for your application is GM #3764113. This piece was used in PRODUCTION only for 1959-62 Corvettes and some series 6 trucks. It is also SERVICE for 1958 Corvettes.

The GM #3764113 is now discontinued from SERVICE without supercession. However, it's easily obtainable under Sealed Power #224-1346. The latter is exactly the same as the GM piece.

Attached are photos of an NOS GM #3764113.

Thanks very much Joe, however I am not finding that part number anywhere that handles Sealed Power. Do you have any suggestions as to where to find one?

I blew it; trying to go from memory, alone, is usually a mistake. The Sealed Power part number is 224-1346. I'll also correct it in the previous post.
