Hi,
I never did find the missing dip stick tube, but I played around a bit with=
random bits in the shop and was able to take a 5 in length of 3/8" bundy t=
ube and=C2=A0 make it fit. I had to turn the section that fits into the blo=
ck down to .350 or so for a sloppy fit and then JB welded the tube to the p=
roper height. I finished it off with a 37 degree flare at the open end for =
a good seal with the dip stick.
No more excuses now. The engine is less than an hour of futzing 'till I dro=
p into the car.
C ya,Bob Lang

I added a 1 inch ID hose venting the oil pan at the old mechanical fuel pum=

I also bent the split on the dipstick so that it was harder to pull out of =
the tube and I replaced the felt gasket.
Extreme venting and spreading the dipstick cured the oil out the dipstick p=

Nice that the dipstick is still there for checking the oil and I don't have=
to go look for it.
Plus I haven't seen the meatball flag in awhile.
