Sorry Indiana, sometimes what seems clear to me gets lost due to my lack of explaining.
The drawing I posted earlier was for a stock tube and dipstick. It can be used in the passenger side timing cover hole (for front sump pans) or in the block driver's side (for aft sump pans).
Regardless of what Pan you install the dipstick length and markings won't change. You just add more or less oil to touch the correct markings.
(Exceptions are Road Race pans like Canton or Moroso that use a different dipstick location in the sump)

Simply pull your current dipstick and tube and measure them against the drawing. Or just buy a new one for $13.00

The distance from the block bottom to oil level measurement does exist somewhere I'm sure, but may come from a speculative source.
