305 and 350 oil pans are the same capacity and will interchange if the years are close or the same.
No way to tell the difference.
SBC stock pans usually hold 5 quarts.
If your dipstick was to short it would read low instead of overfull.
Did you run the motor first and then recheck it? Unless you filled the filter before you put it on, the engine has to pump oil in it to fill it. That's probably where you're getting the overfull reading.

yep your exactly right man i guess i'm getting old thanks ,,,,truckman
