Any of you Cincinnati/Dayton area members know of a source that may have an oil pump chain on the shelf?
I was REALLY Hoping to get the engine/tranny in the car this weekend. My BavAuto order came in yesterday, only the pump chain was backordered.
I've called all the local dealers. No luck. The Clevite/Cloyes model sold by NAPA/Advance etc. only has 44 links and won't work. I have one of those now.

Foreign Auto Parts in Huber Heights (Dayton). Their number is (937) 233-4080. They should have one....isn't that the same chain as used in the 320 and the M10 engined 318s?
