Obviously this would have to be done when the engine is apart or at least the oil pan off?

Typical old Y-Blocks don't need a site glass. Just check how fresh the oil looks coming out of the rear main! Chuck

Chuck.  That would be funny if it wasn’t so true.  That’s like saying “Show me a Y Block that not leaking oil and I’ll show you a Y that’s out of oil” or “Don’t mind the oil spot, the Y is just marking its territory”.

On the Bsa Rocket i used to have, i would explain that it was "oozing nostalgia"

Wasn't Mummert offering a stainless steel dip stick tube? I bought one online years ago and used a chrome dipstick from a Mopar. It was plenty long so I cut it down to match the original length and marked the full and quart low lines. Works for me. Chuck

Here’s the Canton universal dipstick adapted to the Y.  By tapping the existing oil dipstick hole in the block to ¼” NPT, the universal dipstick fits right in place.  The top of the dipstick tube is then cut down until the oil level reads on the ‘full’ mark.  Works for either the front or rear mount dipstick locations.

Is there an alternative to the 312 passenger car oil dip stick.
