the oil pump on a dodge 440 is located on the driver's side on the outside of the engine block. find the oil filter, and you have found the oil pump. the oil STRAINER is located inside the oil pan and does not need to be removed when replacing the oil pump. be sure to prime the pump before re-attaching it, and fill the oil filter with as much oil as possible. because the oil filter mounts horizontally, you can not fill it to the top. failing to prime the pump may cause the pump to not pick up oil from the strainer in the pan causing no oil pressure. watch the oil pressure guage after starting. it will take just a few seconds before oil pressure builds up.
