I am not aware of an adapter that will allow you to check the oil on a standard Type 1 case. I believe the type one dipstick is in accessible when the Type 3 fan shroud is installed. The adapters Bob found are for adapting a Type 3 or universal case to use a type 1 dipstick. I don't know if any of these will clear a the fan shroud on a type three.

He has a type 3 engine case, and is looking at converting the dip stick to a t-1 style due to a lack of clearance in his "sedan delivery" project.

Have you looked at his project in the last couple of days? He's got a good chunk of t-3 load floor in place, and has already removed a 1.5 inch section out of the engine hatch, along with adjusting the rest of the floor to get it inside. Last I looked (earlier today), he was working on tieing in the "new floor to the bus walls.  He still had a gap between the bus rear door (narrowed), and the modified t-3 floor. That gap had a step in it too.
I had suggested it to him, as he might not have enough room for the oil filler and t-3 dipstick tube arrangement. Like he said himself, he wished he had the T-3 floor before he started, as he's about 8 inches short of getting things to fit back there (part of the reason for taking 1.5 inches out of the hatch).

hey GP, no Bobnotch I had not noticed the latest build update. But I would agree it looks like an indented panel on the floor & an indent on the lid would give him his clearance for the dip stick. You have a great build on the go. I guess the next car you will save more of the sections until you finish the car.  |

If you turn it vertical you still have to indent it or it will be sticking up into the flat load floor? I have a black rubber mat on mine.

| I think he is going to have to indent or be real creative with the tube fitment. you will probably have to adjust the length of the dip stick as well. |

With it bolted to the engine case, I'd use an oxy torch, and get the tube cherry red, and bend it up. I only say have it on the engine, so you know how far you can actually take it (the cooling shroud will limit how far you can go).
