I set it at 3/8" from the front portion with the screen, not from the guard that is on the bottom rear of the pickup.

Ok, copy. Thanks. Glad I asked, I might have been too high otherwise.

I pulled an l31 Vortec Sbc out of a '97 Tahoe in a wrecking yard yesterday. It has a nice windage tray in it. I doubt I would have had oil pressure issues if I had one of these in my engine.
