OIL PUMP DRIVE WORM SRM
The worm gear that drives the oil pump off the timing gear train inside the engine.

Our records show this one under a couple of alternate number forms as well, 68-0005 and 68.005, which is common with older catalog entries getting rekeyed over the years. We don't have a lot of extra detail on file beyond the basic description and its place in the oil pump drive.
If you're rebuilding an oil pump assembly or chasing a low pressure problem, this worm gear is worth inspecting for wear on the teeth. Give us a call and we can confirm fitment for your engine before you order.
