If you're talking about the factory style pickup there's no advantage to having a clearance under it, even with the pickup contacting the pan the channel that feeds the opening is larger than the opening so there is no restriction.

Aftermarket pickups like the Milodon must have clearance.



John is right. The OEM pickup has a shield on the bottom that spaces the pickup properly and should touch the pan. Aftermarket pickups do not and need to be spaced up manually.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
