These days since you can’t get any other Pontiac pump that does not have the good 3/4” size pickup tube, all I can say is a minimum of 1/2” off the bottom
of the pan is what I would be wanting.

So safe max would be up to 3/4”?
Going back to the filter housing real quick, this engine is a 69 with the 90° filter housing which also has the provision for the sensor perpendicular to the block which does not allow installation in my f body. Someone before me drilled and tapped the side of it so the sensor could be located the same as the 120°/tilted filter housing. That wouldn’t cause an inaccurate pressure reading would it?
