Oil Dipstick
Trying to determine which oil dipstick would be functional with this oil pan. Assuming it is a relatively stock pan installed on a later '70's 454 block with 427 internals, and installed in a '69 Nova. I have a repro yellow tip stick / tube that aligns nicely with an exhaust manifold bolt, however it is extremely loose going into the pan receptacle.
Any thoughts before I wrap the end with electrical tape and wedge it in there? Need to finalize a bunch of things on this project so we can fire it up....

I'll even take a generic part at this point, anything to keep oil from coming up through!

I've used an O-ring before for a seal between the dipstick and pan.
