I posted about this pickup a while back...

https://picasaweb.google.com/113636046886857960240/New235#5654981516320764578

But can't seem to find any info on it via online parts resources.

My 216 has the style I'm used to seeing and mounts to the cap between piston 5 & 6.

Is this the correct oil pickup?

Is that the "floating" pickup used in car 235s? I seem to recall reading about that in the '55 or so car manual.
Have a look here.

That pickup was used in 1955-57 engines.

So the threaded hole in the cap between 5&6 just isn't used?

I have not seen a cap that is threaded after 1954/55 first. I think that cap has been replaced.
