The Mopar service manuals call for zero clearnces on the stock pickups, I use a coat hangar and set the pickup so the coat hanger (stuck through the oil pan drain plugs on the stock type pans ) barely slides under the low side of the stock pickups On the non stock pickups use the manufacturers specs.
