oldmustangjunkie Journeyman Posts: 27 From: Registered: Apr 2002	posted 08-21-2002 04:24 PM I have a 7qt pan by Canton and a blue knurled grip FMS dipstick from Mustangs Plus. Will it read correctly? MP said it would but I have my doubts. I measured and the new dipstick/tube is the same length as my old one. IP: Logged

Alex runs them on his race motors and frequently runs less than a full load 5 1/2 quarts in my pan and one in the filter reads just up to the 'ADD' marker on my stock 289 dipstick... 5+1 barely touched the bottom of the stick, Alex says 4+1 dosen't touch the stick at all IP: Logged

Actually it looks like the Canton pan so I wonder if it is just relabeled. Anyway, with the pan full it barely touched the stick. I ended up using a Dremel and cutting about an inch off of the tube. I probably should have cut off a bit more but it is now full at the add mark. You could probably do it so that it reads perfectly. IP: Logged
