I have several 1968 skylarks with 350s. some have a plate in the crank case that shields the oil pickup from turbulence caused by the crankshaft. I read about this some time ago. I can't find the article that I read and was wondering if anyone knows the actual name of the plate. I remember it was something I thought was a little obtuse. I can't find a mention of it in the service manual.
Oil flow plate ?

350 oiling system modifications
I am beginning to build another 350. This time, since I have a well equipped machine shop in my garage, I am doing the block prep myself. I have a couple of questions. Most of the published advice says to open the main bearing feeds to 5/16" on numbers 2, 3 and 4. Does anybody know why not...

Yes...That is the name I had read before. Thank You for the reminder.
