Okay, Here's what I decided to go with for a pan mounted Dipstick. It's a Lokar midnight series dipstick for a Ford 302 application since it has 1/4" NPT fitting installed already(Part # LOK-XED-5017) and a Fragola Performance series 1/2" to 1/4" reducer (part # FRA-491205-BL) both from Summit Racing. I also picked up Summit brand Billet Aluminum Chevy small block Adjustable Timing pointer to use with my timing cover, of course I'll have to modify or even remake the mounting base to work with my setup, but I knew that from the beginning, so no big deal or surprise.
