I was wondering if someone knew the rated quart capacity of the pans that I numbered. Also, at which point on the pan is the oil level? How far below the gasket/pan rail ? Thanks, Jeff

I don't have a problem at all on adding one extra quart to most of the stock oil pans, except the pre 1965 standard B/RB oil pans, especially with a windage tray My reasoning on that is the amount of oil held in suspension up in the motor when it is running Cold oil returns much slower to the pan than hot oil does Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
