I'm assembling my 292 Y-block and am to the point where I need to install the oil pan but my car was missing the nut that holds the oil pickup assembly to the oil pan. I have tried both 7/8"-14 and 7/8"-9 jam nuts from the hardware store and the fine thread one will finger-tight about 1 full turn but then gets really tight. I gently tried to tighten it further and there was resistance so I backed it off and found that the edges of the threads were rubbing to the point it would cross-thread if I cranked down on it. Any ideas of where I can source a new nut?
Thanks,

Chris - glad to see you are on here! Did you happen to get that information that I sent you last week?
I can check my stash in the garage to located one of those oil pan tube nuts. If nothing else works out, shoot me an email.

Thanks all for your help. I have somebody that is sending me one in the mail. I continue to be blown away by the kindness of "car people"!
Daniel,
I did get the materials and they look great. I really appreciate you sharing them with me and I am working on something for you to say "thanks" that I'll mail out when its complete.
Blessings,
Chris
