It is most easily accessed from inside the front engine cover. The tube stabs into the block just behind the alternator. It doesn't touch the pan at all.
Ugh, I will need to see how easy or not that bulkhead is to remove from my interior set up. Doesn't sound like fun in this stinkin hot and humid weather in the garage. If the stick goes into the block, I wonder if it is the same on a Fontana block. What the heck rusts anyway, the top of the tube or the stick or both?
Don't know about the Fontana block, but the Cleveland block's setup is as below. I hate to speculate on your rust, but mild steel will rust in the presence of water or corrosive gasses. Both can be present with a leaky head gasket.... but you don't have that .... hopefully.
