True. When I worked for a Chrysler dealer in 1964, we got a service bulletin from the factory that addressed customer complaints of excess oil use in 318 engines. It said that several marine crankshafts had gotten into the automobile engine production line, and the hatch pattern was reversed so instead of pumping oil back into the engine, it was pumping it out.

And Chrysler weren't the only ones to eff up that way; Ford did, too.

Thank you all for your input. I have had medical problems that put my project on hold but hope l can now resume.
I have buffed the knurling off to use the new neoprene rear seal. I thought l had the oil pump gear resulved but it looks as if l am looking for one of those now. I have decided against an electric water pump so l haven't completely resolved that issue yet. The pump will work equally well in both direction but not sure if it will flow adequately. A serpentine belt to turn pump in correct direction may be necessary but not prefered.
Again thank you all very much. If this project works l will post pictures. If not l will be too embarrassed to show you.
