Thanks Chad. It grenaded on the road. Shaft must have seized up, broke the pulley and shed the gilmer belt.
Jeff hopes to find a complete 3 vane moroso pump including v belt pulleys, belt, mounting bracket and convert his lines and regulator from his mr gasket ebay special. He may have to limp down the track on wednesday and try to catch up on the remaining days.
I am praying for heavy rain like in 2006 at Indy.
Re: URGENT PARTS NEEDED IN INDY TOMORROW FOR JEFFMCKC
got a 7am call from Jeff this morning - last night they broke an injector body (strange, never seen/heard of this happening before) and had to leave the car outside Indy, go to the hotel, and sleep for 3 hours. In the process he left his wallet at a gas station... but called that town's police who went to the closed station and found it for him.
So this morning he's in Indy, finding a replacement injector, going to bum a ride BACK to the car outside Indy (hopefully it's still there), then go BACK 30 miles to the town where he left his wallet, then haul ass back to Indy by noon.
And it's only day two!

I can tell you a little about Jeff, after spending a few hundred hours working with him on parts of his car.
-He's a thinker, not much of a talker, but he'll hear anybody's opinion.
-He's understated his own engine planning/building skills by a lot - he's got to be one of the best N/A builders out there, and he does not do it professionally.
-He does a lot of homework.
-He's a great mechanic. He's fixed other people's junk in my garage, at the dyno shop, etc. He can diagnose any problem quickly.
He has a shitty lower back from leaning over cars his whole life.
He understands chassis/suspension stuff and knows how to make a car hook!
His son TJ is 15 and a heluva navigator, and if he keeps his grades up will probably get dad's help on a kickass project car... Both of them like the pizza at the dive bar near our dyno shop. lol
He's best friends with Doc McEntyre, who is just as laid back and cool as Jeff. They've been friends and built cars together since they were in high school, from what I understand.
