Looking at Photo #3 previously posted of the Nightmare oil pan:
There are some interesting things going on with the oil control inside the pan: 1) The drivers side rear does have a small deflector welded into the back wall of the pan. 2) The area behind the oil pump does not have a deflector but it looks like they created a passage on the passenger side of the pan where the oil could rush to the rear of the pan but then bounce off the rear wall and enter the oil pick-up screen area where the oil would be trapped by the oil pan "gates" that would not allow that oil to go forward. The gates would also allow oil to pass thru the oil gates to the screen. 3) Looks like the oil pan has a scraper located on the passenger side of the pan that would funnel oil to the sump of the pan too.

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.
