Oil Dip Stick Help????
I am using a 1989 5.0/302 Engine and am converting from the double hump oil pan to the forward sump pan. My oil pan has a place for the dip stick, but so does the block. The one in the block, if used, causes the dip stick to jit the girdle and bind. So, my question is, how do I plug the hole in the block???? I am sure this has been dealt with before by guys converting from double hump to single hump oil pans, so how did they do it???? Thanks in advance for your answers...........Earl

I moved the dipstick from the block to the timing cover. Fortunately, I was able to remove the freeze plug from the timing cover and put it in the block. You should be able to pick up the freeze plug (looks like a little cup) at a local parts store.

When I was installing my Canton pan I had the same choice. I had gotten a freeze plug (1/4" I think) from AutoZone, tapped it in the timing cover, and like zipzip said, it worked like a charm.
Good luck. -John |
Fox, where did you end up putting your dipstick with the Canton pan? There's a spot in the T-sump, but that seems like the only place to run an oil temp sending unit.....
