Oil Capacity
I'm not sure if all 223's had the same size of oil pans, but in 1964 the 223 had a capacity of 5 qts. Of course, add another quart when changing the oil filter.
Don't just take my word for it- be sure to check the dipstick after you fill up.

If it were only that easy, checking the dipstick that is. When I replaced the engine, the guy at the shop lost the dipstick, so he put in one of these universals that you can set with a screw. Well, you can't set it if you don't know the proper capacity. Or can you?

No, you can't set it without knowing the oil level in the pan, unless you line it up with an original dipstick, but then if you had access to one, you wouldn't have this problem.
If you want an original, I think I remember seeing them at Dennis Carpenter www.dennis-carpenter.com , or just find one in a boneyard.
You will be safe with the 5 1 refill- I got that info out of my Ford Shop Manual for 1964.
