I have no need for a dip stick an in the past my other race engines had a delete plug in it's place, I just don't know where or remember where I got them. Help my memory, thanks.

It is a factory part that was used on the pickup trucks with the rear sump but I don't think it is available over the counter anymore. Last time I needed one I just turned on one the lathe. I don't know if anyone makes these or not.

Wish I had saved some of those I had thrown out. Guess I will just turn one down. Thanks.

I have one that I won't be using on a '78 440 truck motor.

It's going in a car chassis.

The motor is disassembled and sitting on the stand right now.

If you know how it comes out (pressed or threaded) let me know and I'll box it up and send it to you.

They press in. Just tap it from the bottom side with a dowel pin or a reamer blank and it will come out.

I just find a bolt that slips into the hole, put some JB Weld on the bolt, and stick it into the hole. Won't blow out, but you can remove it if you ever want to by turning the bolt with a wrench to break loose the sealant.
