guyz,
So I was going to put my oil pan on today... installed the p/u tube, prepped the pan and readied the gaskets.. when I went to put the pan on, the p/u hit against the bottom of the sump... roughly 1/2" to long for the pan.
I'm kind of confused by this as it's a melting 63-s3 that is supposedly for a stock pan... I can't imagine that it would thread in any further than it was as it was tight at the end ... even if it did, I cant see making up a 1/2" difference by doing so.
Was there a difference in sump depth for the 187 pan and a corresponding tube? If so, where the heck do I find one?
Thanks for any advice,
GJS
