Small Block Oil Pick Up Tube Question

Locomotion said

Hamburger or somebody use to make a set-up that had a second pick-up fitting in the oil pump cover for one of their oil pans. It had a hose connecting it and the 2nd tube from the pick-up. The primary tube "may" have been solid. But with this and any other custom set-ups, you have to worry about the tube possibly breaking from vibration. I don't remember if it had any kind of support bracket, but a well thought out support bracket would be a good idea anyway.

I believe the Milodon SS pan has a set-up with a bigger feed hole from the cover, but it may go straight down for the rear sump.

I called Milodon this past week they no longer make the pump kit with the pickup on the bottom. part # 19000 I think it was.

Personaly I want my pump to have oil waiting to go in the 1/2 in passages. Not the passage sitting there saying hey send me up some more oil would you.

The Guitar Jones oil mods are a part of the old kit car engine mods. At the time Mopar sold the dual line kit that bolted to the bottom and also used the stock location of the pump. Of course there went the way of the doedoe bird. The second pickup had a rubber hose so you could screw in the pipe to the stock location. Then slip on and clamp the second one.
