I have been rebuilding a 454 (1986 MIE340) over the winter. One thing that was missing when I bought the motor was the oil pan dip stick. The original tube is there but no stick. Does anyone have the length measurements of the stick its self?
I know some will say fill it up to the recommended capacity and then mark the stick but my manual says 6 qts with oil filter. Its says nothing about if you have a remote oil filter (I do) or when its a dry motor (never started). Or do you pour the oil down into the motor so 98% of it goes in the pan and then measure it??
Over this stupid thing I am lost.
