Hey there guys another question does anyone out there happen to know the length of the dipstick should be on my 73 satalitte with a regular 318 motor? Reason I'm asking is mine is looking a bit crusty and l thought I'd replace it with a new one. What's put the fear of God in me is my son's got a 77 Z28 with a 454 big block in ther that he's had for a short period of time and was changing the oil in it and after getting a few liters of oil in there.he's checking the level with the dipstick and it's not registering that fast! so he left it overnight to settle down and come morning he checked it again and it still was barely marking the dipstick so and l dont know how he managed to do it but he got the original length of the dipstick and guess what? Turns out its not the correct one for his engine this one's like an inch and a half shorter than it should be!!! So now there's way to much oil in there!!!
