Dipstick Dilemma
The motor i bought has the drivers side dipstick hole plugged. On the passengers side there is a little chunk of metal bolted to the block with a hole in it which is for the dipstick. My question is, do i have to buy a pre 79 dipstick or a 80 and later?

In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
