The picture of the Lokar stick is similar to what I have to do for the 581 pan. The Indy aluminum block has no provision for a stick. They must figure its not neccessary to keep an eye on the oil level. HMMM! I'll drain the oil out after the unit is mounted in the rh pan bung then mark it starting at 5qts for every quart added so there is at least some refference to go by besides rod knock. I'll also mount the k-frame to it while its on the stand to clearance as needed for the pan, frame reinforcements, headers etc.
