I ordered an oil pickup from the dealer, and it doesn't look like the stock one, because it has an extra bend in it, but it looks to place the screen in approximately the same place as the original. Has anyone else seen this? I think it will work, just wanted to make sure. TIA
 
Pick up screens on Buicks are a little screwed up. The original 84-85 screens were also the same as the ones for a NA 3.8. The 86 and 87 IC used a different screen even though all the motors with a 20 bolt oil pan all used the same baffled pan. Since the original HA and NA screens are discontinued it sounds like they sold you one from a IC motor. I'm not sure if there is a tube ID difference but it should work since the screen is in the same location. Double check to see if it clears the baffle if you have an older 14 bolt pan.

I also had to replace my screen and tube. I went to NAPA. They had two different shaped ones to choose from. One didn't fit, while the other was just about a perfect match. I did catch hell putting the oil pan back on though, but I managed to get it back on. It seems to work just fine.
