Default Right side oil dipstick
Out of curiosity----Any problems in putting a block in with right side oil dipstick tube on a 1975 with auto and stock exhaust manifolds? It's on the driver's side in stock configuration now.
Thanks

You need a matching oil pan that will fit the car

That's no problem. I'm turning the transmission upside down and putting a "U" shaped dipstick on it so I end up with a oil check on both sides!
