dropped my pan today measure block pan rails to pick up 4.125 measured pan depth 4.875 (pan is a 971)meaning the pick up was .75 off the bottom of pan. Neighbor had a 402 pan I installed it (the price was right free)the pick up is now sitting on the bottom of the pan. Gotta go get some oil and see what happens

Put 5 quarts of 15w-40 in pan fired up about 78 lbs of Oil Pressure at 2500RPM. Pulled up to make a hard luanch Oil pressure stayed right up there. The cause of my headache Mismatch pickup to oil pan.
Thanks to everyone for their input

Glad it's fixed but it sounds like your walking a fine line, 3/4 of an inch in the pan equals what? about a half a quart of oil?

I would have to say the prior owner put the wrong pan/pickup on.
