I have used clean fresh solvent and then brake cleaner.

However, for a new engine I always put in a new pump. I think of them being relatively cheap and since it's such a vital component it feels safer doing that.

What year Acadian are you working on?

I would try another parts store. Melling still lists an oil pump for that engine. It fits into the middle 70's at least, maybe even later than that if you want me to check.

I know I can get one if you are not in a hurry. I can have it here in a day. Do you want the part number.

The pump is an M-62. I don't see a pickup listed for your application. Should I check in my books at home tonight to see if I can find a number?

It appears the pickup/screen assembly is unique to Nova and Acadian. Melling, at least, has no listing for one that fits them. It lists a number but it will be the one that fits the 6 cylinders in Chevelle and full size cars which is not the same. I doubt that GM still sells it new but I can check tomorrow at work if you like.
