Mines about 1/2" from the bottom of the pan, at most. We've used 31151, 31161 (modified for centre link) and depth altered 31470. It was the same on all. They've all been destroyed by wheelstands, and we're currently having a copy of the 31161 with centre link hole made in aluminium. Pick up will be set for 1/2".

Not really a big fan of the swinging pickup stuff but get the appeal with the large box pans. FWIW I would want that pickup MUCH lower in the pan. As stated 1/4" is much better.

The attachment shows my swinging pick up. I called Milodon and they tell me mine is the older version that the new one should bring it down 1/4 or less have any of you measured the difference?

I always use the Indy swinging pickup in the Milodon pans. Indy pickup is better IMO. Its Its pretty tight to the bottom of the pan. 1/4 -3/8. I never measured it. Just eyeball.

This is from the Milodon instructions: Pickup Assembly – The pickup whether swivel or static will attach the fittings in the same
way. The fitting is a “bulkhead” style that has a groove cut into the long thread section that
the O-ring will sit in. Use a little oil on the fitting threads so avoid galling. With the jam nut
and the washer threaded onto the fitting, slide the fitting through the holes in the pan. The Oring
will then be installed on the fitting inside the oil pan. Align the O-ring on the unthreaded
groove. Use the jam nut to adjust the fitting position in or out to correctly align the O-ring in
its groove. Slide the pickup up to the fitting and screw the fitting into the pickup. The final
tightening will be by the jam nut once the desired fitting angle has been determined.
When using the swivel pickup, make sure that throughout the pickup’s sweep forward and
rearward is kept at an even ¼” to 3/8” all the way through. That is not ½ at one end and 1/8”
at the other.
