I need Information for the oil dip stick on a 361 engine In a 62 Dodge Polara 500. Car Is new to me. Dip stick In engine shows full with only 3qts of oil.
Does anyone know the correct numbers for proper one?
Tks Bob Z
 
Maybe some pix of what you have might help?? We had a discussion fairly recently...... I think Mancini has a chrome one that should work right on any big block, including yours.


***EDIT*** Maybe you can compare what you have somewhat to this information;
With a stock pan, on an engine with stock stroke (RB or B), the oil level is 1.5" below the lower skirt of the block when the engine is not running....

Put in 5 qts of oil, re-mark the dipstick, and use what you already have...
