FWIW:

I did some testing today with an actual oil level in a Cleveland: 

1) I used a stock Pantera tube and 38" dipstick and got a reading.2) I took a Torino OEM tube and stick, shimmed up the Torino tube until I got the same reading on the Torino stick.3) I found the difference in them to be ~ .725".4) I plan to do a test in a 351C with a Ford OEM oil pan, to see how much oil it will take to reach the full mark using the Pantea set up after using a stock Ford tube and stick to fill to it's full mark.
Do any of you know what I will find out?
