Default Bad day at the dyno

I was told many years back that my 69 Z/28 DZ motor
had a swinging pickup on the oil pump.. it never starved
for oil pressure although I did spin a bearing in it but I
think that was from changing the piston in the parking lot
at college after a keeper fell off my newly done heads
I am sure metal got in the engine from the parking lot hone

But I have never heard again about a swinging pickup.. does
anyone know if they actually had them and why not now??
