I have made a tool that straddles the tube, and catches the raised rib on the pickup tube, so you can tap the tube into place into the oil pump. I use Loctite on the tube, and put a dab of modeling clay on the pickup screen area, and then put the oil pan in place, and then check to what degree the clay has been squished, before the Locktite sets up to indicate how close the pickup screen is to the oil pan, and you can make any needed adjustments from there. There's a lot of people that will tell you to weld the pickup tube to the oilpump cover, but the fact is the tube is steel, and the bottom part of the oilpump is cast iron, and, unless you use nickel rod, and burn it in good, you really, aren't going to "stick" the tube to the oil pump body body very well. IMHO, using Locktite and verifying exactly WHERE the pickup tube screen is in relationship to the oilpan is the best way to go.
