Default Food for thought

Working on the engine for the Chevy Pattern 12 today getting ready to test run engine, went to clean and setup the distributor and discovered that the mechanical advance was stuck, mud wasp nest in the counter weights. But that was more interesting was that the spade end that is the drive for the oil pump was slightly twisted. Wonder if this is just years of starting against thick oil or did the oil pump have a real problem at some time?
