Where the heck did that broken stud nut go? And you might consider an upgrade to the "bowler" style of sump screen. In the '78 (i own one) the screen for oil pickup had no capacity for "retaining" the oil in the center of the sump on hard curves (or, for cars at a tilt, such as your car on jackstands I might add). In this scenario, the oil was not picked up as all the oil took flight to a side of the sump by side-G force and deprived the oil pump of oil.

But I sure do wonder where that nut went.
