Help! 187 big block pan: exact oil pickup??? with pics...

[1970dartcustom]

I have a refurbished original 187 oil pan for a big block put in an A body frame... it has a cutout for the suspension in it...
My question is, what exact oil pickup tube/thingy do I need that will fit? I have a pic of one online that says it came with it, and I have a pic of one that looks very similar? Are these the same? Does anyone know what exact one to use????

Does anybody know specifically about these, or has mechanic skill enough to know the generalities of big block uptakes? O

..........Those look right, but there is 1 for the B engines and 1 for RB engines cause their different lengths...............kim......

Says that it is for 383 or 440... Are they just incorrect or is that possible???

Using a soft (cloth) tape measure, the bottom or 'long' side of the tube should measure 10-1/8". That's from the threaded end to where it enters the pickup.

If you don't have one or are still unsure, order this one: http://www.manciniracing.com/196872rbengine.html

The original big block Darts used an 893 oil pan that had baffles in it and it required the use of the same pickup that the 402 B-Body pan used. If your pan does not have the baffles then the pickup you pictured will work.
