I recieved a private response with a picture of the "add on" pump shaft extension (with separate oil intake) and a contact email for the maker. I've already made email contact with the maker of that device, PCV Technologies..
I never did get a batch mail copy of the thread, and I dont know how easy/difficult/involved that is going to be. I am actively tearing down a 13B core at the present time. It's actually one of THREE I snagged off Ebay last week for a pretty decent price (if they all end up working/being workable). I just went back out and looked at the cores, and NONE of them have the actual oil injector pump attached to them.
Is there any reason that I wouldnt be able to put an older mechanically controlled pump on a newer gen engine (provided the device from PCV is in the assembly to serve as the metering pumps mounting surface and oil intake source?
I am definitely looking forward to picking some of the brains on this group/listserv.... so much more QUALITY of information than rec.aviation.homebuilt... nice guys over there.. but the technical level of information here is outstanding... whats funny is, even though I never had a science major degree, I took a lot of science major courses.. the numbers/math in some of the other threads is bringing back memories (not all of em pleasant, either) but at least I'm keeping up.
Thanks and looking forward to feedback.

David,
Do not know if you ever received answer to your question. Metering pump is gear driven by the
eccentric shaft.The flow rate is controlled by a mechanical link to the throttlebody on all rotorys
through 1988. From 1989 on the flow rate is controlled by an electric motor on the metering pump
that is controlled by the EFI/IGN computer(ECU). Most of those flying are using the early pump
and have a manually adjusted flow rate. Mick (downunder) is the first that I am aware of to modify
an electric pump for a manual adjustment. FWIW
