oil pick up tube

[chasmat2316]

What are you guys using for an oil pump pick up, are you using a generic one , is one better than another brand ? Does one have a larger tube or better screen?

I used a Melling stock replacement. No problems here. I don't think anybody makes a "high performance" version except for the ones specifically used for deep sump pans and those are just longer than stock.

X2.
use a melling, a 20-IS2 should work.

Try your dealer

I prefer to use a genuine GN part.

They were still available a couple months ago.

If you go with the Melling, the part number is 20-IS2. Should be available at any local speed shop:smile:

Nick I took your advice & got a GM oil tube from the dealer - the tube looks alittle smaller than the aftermarket ones & seems to have a little more restriction by the bolt flange than the aftermarket? Why do you feel this is a better part? am I missing something? Thanx Charlie

don't worry

There is far more restriction in the front cover than in the pick tube or the block passages.

That is true, just not to add to it !
