How difficult is it to do? I am going to see if it is just the oil pressure switch before I really get my hands dirty...
What is involved with replacing the oil pump if it is bad?
Thanks!

71 SB Oil Pump Installation?

The pump is "squeezed" in between the case halves. There is a special puller to pull it out. That's *after* you get the cover off.
Pumps rarely just go bad.
You will want to get a shop manual.
'71 used 2 different pumps; order the correct one.

Thanks Jim!
Turns out that it was just the oil pressure switch! Whew! Dodged a bullet there!
