Oil Pump Adapter

[peter dowdle]

Kevin just a guess its probably off a jensen intercepter they have one pipe pointing towards the radiator and as I understand the other coming off at an angle.

They are as scarce as hens teeth.

I think you are right Peter. I started a thread about this on the Moparts forum and someone posted a picture of the Jensen pump cover - I'm sure that's what is on my car. My engine was rebuilt by Dean Anthony at Jensen Motors Australia (not someone I would recommend dealing with).


However, I don't think this pump cover is any use for the Bristol 411 in normal circumstances. He cut a six inch square hole in each side of the engine bay, supposedly to improve access to spark plugs or engine mounts (I forget the exact excuse), but I think Jensen oil pump cover could not have been used if the hole was not there.

They are as scarce as hens teeth.

But not as scarce as the part used by Bristol it seems!


It would be interesting to know whether Bristol had these made up or if they were supplied by Chrysler. If the latter, someone on the Moparts forum suggested it may be from a marine or truck engine, which Chrysler also made.

Im hearing all sorts of stories about Jensen Motors Aust. Odd story about the holes spark plugs are no where near the the area he would run oil lines. The only spark plug that is a bit hard to reach is next to the power steering box.
So farm I am finding ELKO PERFORMANCE very good to deal with. Motor and gear box are already to refit just waiting on pump adapter to arrive from UK.
We have fitted a new cam,lifters, twin chain timing chain and new gaskets through most of the motor.
