I wonder if the dipstick tube isnt all the way down
in the hole in the block?
Crawl under, there'll be a little lip that on the
tube that is supposed to bottom out in the block, If its setting above the hole,
the tube needs tapped in more, also, you may have to loosen or remove the bolt
holding the mounting tab.
Either that, or maybe the tube was just cut a
little long from the factory? If you're sure the tube is all the way in the
block, maybe you could remove a bit from the end, being careful to put something
in the tube so metal chips dont fall down in the engine. Make sure the tube
itself is firmly seated before you modify it, however.

Subject: IML: '65 Imperial Oil
dipstick
Heres a question for you all...I changed the Oil in my '65 Imperial a few
days back..changed the filter too, put in five quarts like the manual
said...four plus one for filter change...and my dipstick says I'm a quart
low...now this is an all original '65 Convertible with the 413...funny thing
is that about 10 years ago I was driving another '65...this one a Crown four
door hardtop and its dipstick read the same thing...one quart low after
adding five quarts...can anyone explain this phenomonea to me or should the
413 in fact take 6 quarts like my '64 Dodge Custom 880 with the 361 indeed
does do?
Thanks for responding...maybe I'm the one who's a quart low
