I recently had my car at a garage for a leaking oil pan gasket. Later I realized the dip stick for the oil was missing it used to be orange and I thought longer but the readings were correct. I have a 1971 Plymouth 440 Super commando. The garage says they don't have it! I ordered a new one thru summit which calls for 23 inches long. I put it in and it doesn't register oil level I added here and there couple qts but still nothing. So I drained it and added the 5 qts. Still doesn't register on the dip stick. What am I missing please everything I searched online says 23 inches but my gut says it was longer. Its a standard pan as well. Any suggestions. should I get a longer stick and just make the correct marks on it.
