Fyi...

Friday i did an oil change, I added 5 qt of oil.

I drove it 75 miles sunday and just now cold the level is just over full.

Maybe I did not get it fully empty, the front of the car was up on ramps. But I let the car drain till no more drips from oil filter or drain plug .

Thanks.
I just measured a dipstick that's 16.5" from the tip to the collar. Compared with 18" on the original on your family's '67.

Herb's is selling oil indicator tubes for small blocks
Claimed for 1959-69 Overall length of 9.125". Reference Chrysler part number 1859788.
Claimed for 1970-74 Overall length of 7.875". Reference Chrysler part number 3418933.

my guess is there is a matching dipstick length for each, maybe several if the tubes were used for aplications with different oil pan sump locations.
