Maintenance / Re: Oil Level

OK - I finally got around to measuring the dip stick and the one I have is longer than it should be.

Now the question is - where can I get the proper one?  Is there a part number or other identifying mark(s)?

Thanks

JohnZ - thanks for the measurements - I'm leaving on vacation today but will check when I return.

Mark - yes I measured the oil after running it.  I only put 5 quarts total in the engine.

Maintenance / Oil Level

« on: March 01, 2010, 09:44:48 PM »

I drained the oil, replaced the filter and added 5 quarts of oil.  The oil level reads about 1+" above the full mark on the dipstick.

Can someone tell me the proper lenght of the dipstick tube and the proper lenght of the actual dipstick.

I have a NOM 302 in a '69 Z28
