Good question--what I can do is measure the height from the pan rail on the 
block to the 'safe' mark on the dipstick.   Then you can fill a pan with 
the supposedly 'right' amount of oil; the distance from the top of the pan to 
the 'waterline' of the oil should be the same.

Larry Finch has kindly offered to loan me a stock non-Pantera 351C dipstick 
and tube assembly for comparison; I'll be getting that Thursday night and 
will mock up photos etc. Friday.
