Chas,
Car is now on blocks for some winter Mod's so this has gone to the back burner for a month or two.
Since I know the gauge works and
oil temp is indicated when the engine is off, I think it is a
oil level issue. Still searching for a dimension from the pan rail to the
oil surface but not having much luck
I do have a stock FE oil pan and came up with the idea of putting 4 qts and measure to flange, then add a quart and measure again. That should give me a reading that Ford originally designed into the vehicle. The four quarts should replicate a typical stock 390 FE and the 5 qts should replicate the Cobra Jet issue where Ford said "add a quart"
Once I have that number, I can compare it to what I am getting on my Canton Pan with the 7qts in it. The error should show if there is one.
Something to play with this weekend
Paul
