I have a 350 i just got and the oil dipstick hole is down towards the pan. The whole is about 3/8" in diameter. Can anyone tell me what dipstick to get for this because no regular stick will fit!! thanks

Mike, It may be a truck pan. Are there any numbers on it?

progress has little to do with speed, but lots to do with direction.

I had that problem one time, and what happend was that the dipstick was broken off flush with the block and had to pull the old dipstick tube out and then it slid right in.
