They would be used to hold the drive gear on a GM distributor
amongst other things. Last time I used one was to install a large
yellow knob on a PP1 valve. That is a truck air brake valve.
Typically, auto parts stores will have a drawer with a selection of
these pins.

==========================
Thanks for the information but not even close. This is a long thin
ceramic needle-like thing, more like a piece of cut coathanger but is
made of ceramic material. It goes through the impeller to keep it
spinning in the middle of the impeller well. It's stabilized at both
ends so the impeller can spin and not actually touch the sides of the
well.


Any chance at a pic??
