EMPI Filter Flow Oil Pump – 32mm Gears, Flat Cam (Through 1970), Type 1 (16-9702-0)

Upgrade your vintage air-cooled engine with modern oil filtration using the Filter Flow Oil Pump. Engineered for early-style engines, it uses oversized 32mm gears for a significant increase in oil pressure and volume over stock units, and its housing is precision-tapped with 1/4" NPT inlet and outlet ports for seamless integration of a conventional spin-on oil filter.

This model is designed for engines equipped with a Flat Cam Gear, standard on Volkswagens manufactured through 1970. Each unit is supplied with the necessary mounting hardware and gasket for a professional, leak-free installation.
