As af few of you guys know, I've got a Gen 1 EFI 5.8L engine in my '69 GT350 Mustang. I just can't figure out the oil level deal.
It always reads too high, like the dipstick is too long. I ordered a new dip stick for the engine from Ford... F2TE-6750-DA stamped on the stick, 29.250" inches long.
I just changed the oil, put in two quarts, checked it by the stick and it's atleast two inches over the full mark.
My thinking is that the stick may be going somewhere other than straight down into the pan. Do these engines have a windage tray or some other baffleing in the pan that could be giving me these crazy readings?
I'm gonna' go ahead an run 5.5 quarts (dual oil filters) and assume it's full... does anyone disagree?
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
