DAMNIT
I was putting my upper intake back together and as I was trying to put the OMP rod back onto the trottle body the rod just popped loose right in my hand...
Is it easy enough for me to put back on from underneath or do I have to take it ALL APART?

You should be able to put it back on with no problems. If I remember right it's just a pin that goes thru it. check around on the ground for a cotter pin or find something to fit in the hole.

The thing in your pic is rivited on the lever arm of the OMP. It looks like your rivit failed. It's not really a rivit, but it is quite similar. Mine was getting really sloppy so I squished the rolled-over metal a little with a vicegrip. You may be able to repair yours this way. It depends on how much rolled-over metal is still there. It may be easier to get another OMP arm.

It's gonna be very difficult to fix that in place IMO. I'd remove the pump to survey the damage if I were you. If it's fixable then get yourself an OMP rebuild kit and be done with it.

Underneath will be the easiest, you will have to remove the aluminum plate under the car. Its still going to be a pain, the lower radiator hose will be in your way too. Good luck, maybe the junkyard would be a better solution at this point....

Prosthetic head.
So what, did the rod break? All I can say is that I've gone through this with mine and you have to do either of two things: 1- Take stuff apart, or 2- Get lucky, like me.

if i can't put the rod back in from underneath then i'll have to do a rebuild...till then can i premix and assume its not pumping anything?
also, will i have to drain all the oil out to take it out? or will the holes into the oil be small enough to just do a slite drip?
there should be a write up on r&r since so many of us either take it out and premix or rebuild it...

I say do the rebuild. Compared with what you've done already, it really is an easy job.

The lines will be safe if you disconnect them from the OMP and remove it completely before working on it.
From the picture, it doesn't look like you'll be able to repair the "rivet" part as Jeff20B did. Personally, I would try to drill and tap it for an M3 screw. If you don't have a tap set, an individual tap is not expensive.

You could run it that way for as long as it takes to get around to pulling the OMP, without fear of hurting anything.
