I need a dip stick for a 1934 320 cu-in 8. Anyone know where to get one?

Sorry, only one spare which I'm reluctant to part with. But if you wish I can give you the dimensions from the crankcase lip where the stick mounts to the "full" and "add" marks so at least you can check and maintain your oil level.

1933/1934 Eight and Super Eight the same, also some 1935 before a running change.

This seller has '38 to '54 available.

May want to contact them to see if they have your year, or modify one to fit.

that information would be great

The "Full" mark is 5-3/8 inches below the pad where the dipstick would come to rest when inserted in the lower crankcase. My error, there is no "Add" mark, just a "Full". That should come to 8 quarts without a filter change.

One you're sure you're at "Full", it's a good opportunity to check the dashboard oil fill gauge (depress button under the gas gauge) to see if the oil pan electrical sending unit is still functioning correctly.


How about deleting your duplicate entry?
