Default Oil pick up

I had a 1970 chevelle street car back in the 80's and I was driving down sibley blvd and lost oil pressure, It was a motor that had about 200 miles on it.BBC 402 I pulled over and towed the car to my house, checked the oil pressures gauge and lines etc. Drained the pan and stuck a a coat hanger in the pan and banged around hit the oil pick tube. I could feel it and hear it I knew it was off the pump. Any way pulled the motor and replaced and brazed the pick up back in no harm or foul. I was younger and thought it would not be hurt. It was not hurt ,but I was not spnining it hard just street driving
Hope this helps
