Default Stock oil size pickup?

Well I went to change my oil Friday and seen something in the oil pan. Looking the best I could though the drain hole noticed that it was the pickup. So since I have to drop the oil pan I'm going ahead and changing pump and all. So I'll have the right one on hand and ready what size is the stock pickup? Car is a 93 Z28 with LT1. Sorry so long. Thanks in advance. Robert

You said you are changing the pump too in which case you need to be more worried about what fits the new pump than the size of the old pickup.

What pump are you going with?

Don't know thats the reason I was asking what size is stock? I'm tring to learn which 1 would be the best to go with. Either 5/8 or 3/4 both standard volume pumps.

My 93 has a 5/8. That's what I replaced it with.

All the 93's I've worked on were 5/8"

The 94's are mixed from my experience & all 95's I've worked on were 3/4"

I'm sure there may be exceptions to this, but take it for what it is worth.

If replacing everything, you may as well go 3/4"
