Chevy step van. (many delightful issues) Roped the trans into high gear from Terre Haute IN, to Flagstaff AZ by shifting up through the gears, then pulling a loop of rope up to hold it in gear. (I had purchased a used trans in Terre Haute just in case) Same truck took a look at the gauges just in time to see the oil pressure go to zero. Not good. Oil OK. running so not the cam. No Knocks. Pulled the distributor, and found the oil pump drive hex worn near round. I inverted it, and drove it into the distributor, after putting a flattened piece of tin from a ball point pen clip over the rounded hex, and stuck the distributor back in the hole. (I never did change that repair, it was permanent) I removed the engine from a Saab 96 (on the north rim of the grand canyon between colorado city, and lava falls, where the nearest controlled electricity was 50 miles away)(aluminum 3 cylinder 2 stroke) set it on a rock, and put 3 thick washers in place of the friction material usually found in the clutch disc. Put it back together with no throwout bearing, and drove the remainder of a 250 mile camping trip without the clutch. (they free wheel if you let off the gas, so shifting eas very easy) starting in gear was not a problem, just don't park in the mud. Jim
