Broken oil pump pickup

Has anyone ever seen the oil pump pickup break where the tube joins the screen assembly?

Is that what happened to your 383 (and starved your engine for oil)?

Possibly, but I'm still not entirely convinced. In any case, I need a new pickup.

At least the pickup was welded to the pump, even if that's not where it broke.

After 9 months, my camera finally gave birth to a picture. The M55HV doesn't work so good without a screen on the end of the pickup.
