After teardown, and blueprint, a simple and quick way that I have found to work after installing the new cup, is to drill through the housing through the cup with a small drill bit, and install a stainless steel cotter pin.  Works well, simple, and plug is not going to move.  Does not weaken the housing so as to create a crack.   Joe-JDC

Blair (or anyone else), what kind of cold oil pressure do you see with this pump? I'm getting 85# in a bucket of oil with a drill motor. I'm thinking of backing it down a little...

I don't think the plug can come out with the pick up installed.
