Please Help Oil Pump Pick Up Tube
Please Help Oil Pump Pick Up Tube Hey guys im in the middle of a cam install on my 99 camaro the MS3, Right now I am in the middle of changing the oil pump. My question is- On the oil pump pick up tube there was only one bolt connecting the pick up tube to the oil pump, what gets me is that there is two threaded holes on the pump as if there should be another bolt and there is a spot for the bolt to go throught on the pick up tube. I am the original owner and that is the original pump so i know someone hasn't gone in and half assed something. Is there only suppose to be one bolt and the other for ls6 cars or something ?? Help fast i have to put it back together soon really soooon !!! thanks SHANE please if you are not sure do not tell me a guess only say if you are sure thanks

Yes, it's only one bolt!
I don't think you can get a torque wrench in there. I used a gear wrench and some loctite and tightened it up by hand, estimating what the correct torque setting should be.
