If no one else wants to and there is an interest in trying something besides drilling the pan, I am willing to take a shot at an adapter if someone provides dimensions of the fill tube

Better yet would be an old tube if someone has one laying around. The clear distance from top of tube to underside of car body would also be nice to have. Parts book said the tube is the same 50-54 but the dipstick changed.

I was also looking at Amazon.com and they list quite a few flexible tubes from other manufacturers besides Lokar -- many at a lower cost.

I've got a spare 55/56 tube and dipstick hanging in the garage if measurements or photos of it is of value to anyone. I don't know but could determine if it's the first or second style.

Apparently the solution has been found on another thread

All kidding aside, i'd like to try the drill-the-pan-and-mount-the-flexible-dipstick-direct method this winter if i get the motor out.
