20- bolt oil pan baffle

[hensleyt]

Thanks for getting me back on track.I reread Michael first post all the way to the last.
I think your correct!
Post#1 says it dropped coming to a stop.
Post #9 Mick said it dropped from 22 to 9
So could this be something else? I would think if you would uncover the pickup it would go to 0.
10s of thousands of 3.8 have no baffled oil pan.and normally don’t uncover the pickup.
I think it’s time Michael cut his oil filter apart.

Most people aren't at WOT when they're hard on the brakes.

Your not doing that with stock breaks

Well somewhat stock brakes. S-10 rear wheel cylinders and the two-long shoe pads mod.

If I got on the brakes hard, it might goto zero.

I am not going to try to hurt the engine !

The pan and pick up were on the engine when I got it, so when I do drop the pan I will measure it as suggested.

If you can go to zero psi breaking a full weight street car, you've got issues other than baffling. I'm curious about your pan to pickup clearance.

I will post up a video in a day or two depending on the weather.
