Oil pump pickup
Anyone else think this is a bit extreme?
Not my engine, it's from a Facebook posting. Was shown with a stock pan too.....dunno how it isn't hitting the pan bottom. |

Definitely tilted too much and welded on - the pickup should sit in a small divot between the oil pump housing and base plate.

Maybe someone had added a 2" sump to the pan and he figured that was the only way to get the pick-up lower in the pan.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
