Guys, maybe I'm just simple minded, but wouldn't the need to "re-calibrate" the dipstick depend on the pickup being used?

If the Canton pan required a change of pickup, then I can see how adding 9 quarts and marking the level might be right, but if the standard pickup were used with the Canton pan, would the original mark on the dipstick not be correct?

I ask b/c at some point I hope to replace the "double-sump" Fox body oil pan on my replica with a similar pan....don't most pans come complete with their own recommended pickup tube?

Cheers!

Dugly

Hey Dugly do right !

"don't most pans come complete with their own recommended pickup tube"?

Yes,...and any company should. Mine is sponsored from Canton and included their pickup. What they tell you is correct for any application. Great products.

Dugly that would make sense, however; Canton makes a BUNCH of different pans which would require a specific dipstick for each pan (costly).

Their not too costly, versus others. Get what they recommend and install it according per the instructions and be done with it. Very simple guys.

I think u missed the point. They only makes a few dipsticks so u need to cut,bend and calibrate to your pan . U Might be supprised how many people are unaware of this.
