Correct oil dipstic and tube for 400cid
Have a 1973 Pontiac 400. The oil dipstick seems exceptionally long. Have to pretty much force it back in. The 400 has factory air. How long should the dipstick be?

After an oil change run the engine for a few minutes, shut it off and let it sit. Then check the oil level and mark the stick where full is. Then mark it about 1 1/2" longer and cut it off. Then you'll know exactly when your full and not have the extra length.
I've had to do it to aftermarket chrome dipsticks.
