Hi Colin
I can probably help if you're stuck.. what length of dipstick do you need? I have a few spares around here some where... Phil has a real good piece on his site about the different kinds...
I had never even stopped to think there maybe so many alternatives and remember once being told to make sure I over filled it 'to be on the safe side!' No doubt the voice of reason tempered with the use of the wrong dip stick! kind regards nick

message??
Hi colin... no I don't remember a message... but I would have to admit to a shocking memory... But, You are very welcome any time.
Phil watermans site is a must, full of really excellent stuff. I love the engine testing video. Theres load of detailed CMP stuff that you've often thought about but never really been motivated enough to resolve! http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/ nice one Phil.... kind regards nick

Check this section of my site
http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.c...Page%20Two.htm
Couple of things to check which oil pan you can see that the true CMP Chevy engine has a deep sump. With the dip stick located in the pan. While the standard Chevy truck/car pan has the dip stick located in the lower edge of the block.

C8
Colin ,
If you have a early C8 , the engine will have 1940 civilian type set up , e.g., dip stick in block . The sumps varied somewhat , depending on date , model of truck etc. The Chev. major assemblies catalogue ( well worth getting from Alex B. ) , gives a run down on the different types of sump they used.
