The oil pump pickup assembly is designed as
a float to allow the screen to ride up on the oil
rather than picking it up from the very bottom of
the pan. This was important when engines
were being run with non-detergent oils. Muck
would form on the bottom and the floating
pickup was an attempt to be able to draw
cleaner oil into the engine. IH went away from
this design it the sixties.

There should be a stop to prevent the pickup
screen from touching the bottom of the pan. If
it were to sit that low it could restrict the oil
intake and also wear through the pan.
