Default Oil capacity for a 302?
I have a fox body oil pan, no oil cooler. Chilton book that I have says 5 quarts but the stick is saying that it is overfilled. What is normal for this setup? Gauge reads about 60psi at startup and drops off to about 45-50 after warm-up. Dip stick is correct for this engine and is seated properly in block.

Thanks
