And from other posts, the dipstick is a different on a 70-71 hemi vs 67-69. If I could empty the entire system, then add 6 quarts, then mark the stick wherever the level is would solve the problem but getting everything out sounds like a lot of work.


I hope that was not my post, I misread the trans discussion and posted about the Oil pan stick. According to the parts book, the hemi trans dipstick was the same part number 66-71. The tube changed in 69.


DS - There is a 4202951 part number stamped on my dipstick just below the rivets. Do I have the correct dipstick?
