Dipstick help

So i'm a little confused here, Ive never been able to check the oil level since I rebuilt the motor last year. After the breakin I poured in some $$amsoil 0-30 and measured by using 1 quart bottles. Then after checked the dipstick and it has oil little below the Low line. But i pour in exactly what the motor takes so kinda just said the hell with it.

The motor is all 20r(head and block), now I just pulled the dipstick tube off an old 86carbed 22r sitting in my junk pile and it is much shorter than the one on my 20r???

Check the Pic... thats the only dipstick I have, long tube was on my 20r, short pulled off the 22r.



And on a different subject anybody know if it is possible to swap my fuel inlet on my weber 38 to the other side without any drilling an taping?



Just trying to get those fuel lines off the Hot thermo housing...

Thx guys

I remember seeing this on pirate and there are about 4 or 5 different dipsticks. I had my fuel inlet change a old guy used 1/8" fittings and carefully tapped it.
