TO30 Oil pump pick up.

I recently started work on a TO30 and got everything running aside from oil pressure. So today I dropped the oil pan and looks like the oil pump was recently rebuilt, but, there was some metal in the bottom of the oil pan. I will put pics below. Everything looks ok, but I believe the parts are to the oil pickup?!?!? I don't have a lot of experience but think it is sucking air because that is demolished. I cannot find an oil pickup any where online. Can anyone tell me if that is what looks to be missing? and if so where to find the right parts? Thanks in advance!

So I got the pick up installed and still had no pressure. Took out the oil pump and the set screw in the main gear wasnt in the shaft enough to prevent it from free spinning. I
put a set screw in and it spins properly now, but I noticed the pressure valve seems stuck. I can take the spring out but the valve will not move without substantial force. I
noticed the valve was pushed down toward the spring more and still got no oil pressure. I assume this means the valve was open? So I dropped the pan again and with force pushed
the valve up more. Then when starting I got oil pressure up to about 30psi and then immediately dropped back to 0? I plan to drop it again tomorrow, but does this look like it may
have pushed back down and the spring needs washers? or should the valve even fit that tight in the tunnel?
 
Make sure that the plunger for the bypass is moving free, and not sticking anywhere. The bypass spring could be weak also, and needs to be replaced. On the bypass spring, when its removed it should be 2" long (free standing), and it should take 8 1/4 lbs to compress it to it's "working length" of 1 3/8" long.
