I was swapping out oil pickups and pans on my 440 for my 84 shortbed. in the passenger car oil pickup were 2 rod nuts!!!
All the rod nuts were on the rods, as I removed the tube , something rattled. when I got the tube off, I shook it and these fell out!
I guess they have been there since new. The engine had never been apart, always owned by the same family since new

Those looks like a pair of well preserved nuts!

I would say that was pretty surprising!

My luck - and they would have made it to the pump.

Yes Webster, I agree! At least the title wouldn't be "The nuts got sucked up into the tube"

At least they were under the screen. I might dissect the pickup and see if they were wearing thru the screen.
