Question
where is the oil dipstick located ? (straight 6 cylinder)
ive been looking and cant find it.
Hi Scott:
This is a tricky one, since Rambler move the oil dipstick on several models. If your is a 196 straight six, I think from the factory the oil dipstick is at the main gallery just about 3-4" back from the front of the engine. The main gallery is a "bump" that runs along the right side through the oil pump just above the oil pan rail. Hope this helps.
