I'm curious. I had a hard time taking off my oil pan because it was hung up on the pickup tube. I've had several engines and never had the problem before. Anyway, I had to let the pan dangle while I reached in and removed the tube. I happen to have four pickup tubes which I have collected over the years and when I put them side-by-side, they were different lenghts. The one that I got hung up on was a good 1/2" shorter than the others. They also have very different looking bottom screen sections. As far as I know, they are all off of '86 and '87 turbo regals.
