5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
pump is being replaced. a small wire from the top of a lifter infiltrated t oil pump screen, jammed the pump, snapped the rod to the dizzy and shut down the car.
I am replacing the pump, oil pickup (afraid some pieces remain in it) oil shaft and maybe the distributer as well.

At least you broke the roll pin in the distributor and shut it down vs seizing the pump and spinning rod/main bearings. You got the lesser of two evils lol
