No known quantities on this car. Unknown old
oil pan capacity, unknown aftermarket dip stick, unknown aftermarket dipstick tube.
What I am looking for is a measurement from the
oil level to the bottom of the block.
I have the pan off to change it and it would be easy to mark the dipstick now.
The pan that I am putting on was given to my by a friend, it is very nice finned aluminum, but no idea of manufacturer or capacity.
Hoping that i don't have to buy a stock pan, bolt it on, put 5 quarts in and mark the dipstick. That would be a pain.
