Garth & Rick, that is some great documentation! I thought I was the only one who took a bunch of step by step photos of everything ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif) seeing the pics make it much easier to understand ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Garth, the modified fitting coming out of the pump cover would be my biggest problem...That is some awesome skill cutting and welding up that fitting ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/weld.gif) I don't have that skill and not sure any of my friends do either. Rick, the tubing you used, is it welded or soldered? Also, question for all: Are you using the "O" ring at the connection/fitting at the pan or a gasket of some sort...or both?

Bill, the fitting was not too bad to make. I just cut out a V from a 90 and filed it by hand until it lined up with the opening in the cross member. A friend of mine did the TIG welding. Remember, this is under suction, not pressure.
I remember having to fiddle with the pickup. I forget how I did this. Now you understand why I have some many pictures. LOL. My best recollection was I discarded the o-ring. I used an aluminum washer on the outside of the pan. I had a friend thread it to better align it on the fitting but that is not necessary. Then I used silicone on either side of the sump wall to seal.

BigWedge - looks like that block was ventilated in one picture.
Yup. That is now my mock up block for myself and Mopar friends.

The tubing is welded. I don't think soldering would hold in this application. It was fabricated from two 90 degree Aeroquip adapters. As for the fitting in the pan, I used a washer kit from Doty manufacturing that is made specifically for this application. It is a large aluminum washer that is relieved for an "O" ring on the inner circumference. http://dotymi.comGarth's method or mine each require some welding although it is minor and any welding shop would likely do it for a minimal charge. I would think that a longer piece of braided steel line could be looped under the oil filter in place of the steel line I used and would eliminate any welding but the line would have to be supported so it doesn't rub somewhere.
