If universal, you will need to determine how much oil your pan holds and adjust the dip stick tube length until you have the proper reading on the stick when the pan is full. Is there an O-ring and shoulder/seat on the tube for the O-ring to stop against?
it was supposedly for a big block chevy. How high is the oil level supposed to be in the oil pan? Should i surpass the baffle?
