I bought a oil pump from from a member with about 1000 miles more or less now getting ready to install is there anyway to check and make sure everythings good before the install?

Does anyone now if napa,autozone carry the oil pump gasket for our cars?

To an RX-7 guy! Yeah, I did it. StarQuest sacrilidge, I know. I have some 8's and 9's, they need cleaning up, curve rash, dents. But with the $$ from the 7's and 8's, I got some $$ to start engine rebuild on the Brown Bomber. (87 Shetland Beige)

not mine, saw it on a local car forum:   http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/3080872592.html
