BB oil pimp pick up tube?

[mattsmopars]

I am needing to replace the oil pump pickup tube in my new 383 that I am building for my 65 coronet wagon. The question that I have is were can I get one for the early b-body pan? I am not haveing good luck with finding a new one. I was going to use the one that was in the engine when i got it, as it had a 68-up 402 stamped b-body pan on it, but it will not work in my original 65 BB 361 pan. I would remove the one from the old 361 , but I can't get the stupid thing out plus its bent, or got bent while trying to remove it...... Any suggestions or advice would be great!
Thanks, Matt

you could try tony's parts

or some of the other used vendors around....I'm not sure if anyone reproduces them though.
Anyone else know who to call??

I have a 65 Coronet with a 440 in it. Milodon has an early B body pan so maybe they have a pick up also. It clears the K-member and steering linkage also. You could also try Mancini Racing.

I know you didn't ask for build tips but I would get the Milodon 62-65 pan(7qrt) and their 3/8" pick up(1/2" for crazy HP use). The pan looks cool hanging down also.

I hope this helps.
