I dont know about the vettes, but i dont think the f-bodys have threads in the pickup. I think the bolt just goes threw the pick-up and threads into the oil-pump. I cant remember from when i did my cam swap. So forgive me if im wrong.

are there threads in the pick-up? I cant tell from the pic. I know when i did my cam, i thought i stripped the threads in the pick-up. But i ended up just getting a new bolt from the dealership and it threaded back in perfectly to my new oil pump.
