I have a rear sump pan and the dipstick hole is in the front, how do i make it work? the pan is baffled to keep from flying out of the sump.
The stick in the front will work.. the oil will seek its level... the baffles are not oil tight

So i should fill the pan past its sump up to the front of the pan? It flattens out for about an inch deep until it hits the sump. so should i fill the pan up to about 1/2 from the top?
Is the stick the stock one for that engine.. just fill to the normal height

Sounds like you have same problem as me. The front of my pan next to the dipstick is so shallow that the stick hits the bottom of the pan. No way do I want the oil level that high. Still thinking about what I'm going to do. Site glass tube, relocate dipstick tube to the pan. Doug

no its a lokar , so i have to cut it to fit.
A couple of questions.. are you trying to find out what the pan holds and is the pan like Doug said about the front at the stick... is the pan on the engine and in the car or is it on the engine stand

is that a screw in ? did you weld a bung in the pan?
Even a O-ring style would work in that application
