Default (PIC)oil p/u difference bolt location, c5 vs. f-body

the c5 oil p/u bolt is on the pass. side(makes it alot easier)

haven't uploaded pics of fbody yet, the c5 was 2001 vs 1999 for the ss, anyone else notice this? is it the year or the car? those are the $2 5/16" wooden dowels cut to 22" length, no need to taper, just spin the cam and slide 'em in(this is prolly common knowledge here)

interesting. the oil pump is threaded on both sides, so when i changed mine, i wondered why the *^&(#($%(#$%( they didnt use the passenger side for the flange. it really pissed me off since it was a uber-biatch to drop the pan and hardly have enough room for that stinkin bolt.

ugh

Thats how mine looks on my 02 hawk. I guess thats why I didnt think it was such a big deal as some make it out to be.
