    I'm collecting parts to fix up my 300's oil pump. I haven't gotten the pan gasket yet (ordered that through Rock Auto--a Felpro), but I can't find an oil pickup gasket at my standard parts stores. Do they come with the pan gasket? If not, where's the best place to get one without having to pay $10 shipping for it? I already received a TA order (pump booster kit and shims), so that route probably won't work. Thanks for any insight...

    It may come with pan gasket. Its possible a 350 pickup screen will fit the 300 and is 5/8 . that would help ease load on oil pump. I would also consider drilling out pick up passage to 1/2 in.
    Ta lists theirs as fitting .

    OK ta list it as fitting up to 68 350. Probably the best choice is the ta one.

    When I ordered my pan gasket from TA a few months ago it came with an oil pick up tube gasket

    I had he same problem about a year ago. I think I ended-up with a 3.8 gasket.

    Well, the old mail seems to be running slow, so who knows when my parts will be in...I'll update when I get my oil pan gasket for future reference.

    Sigh. The Felpro pan gasket doesn't come with the pickup gasket. I guess I should have bought the Victor-Reinz set, as it appears that that one includes it. Oh well. I'll take the pickup to the parts store when I pull the pan off and see if a 3.8 gasket will match.
