Dip stick
I have an 82 F151, 300ci straight 6. I need to find an oil dip stick for it. The part is not made anymore and I can't find a used one. Any ideas what I can do or another dip stick that would work? Maybe a measurement of one? Thanks

Here's one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256451751765
To make sure it works and to calibrate it, the next time you change the oil put in one quart less than normal with a new filter. Run it a little bit and let it sit for an hour and then check the dipstick. The oil level should be on the "add" mark. If it's not, take a hacksaw and saw a mark where the oil level is located. Then add 1 more quart. Drive it and let it sit for a hour or so, then check the oil level. That will be your "full" mark. Make another mark if it's not in the correct place.
