Just a short introduction to myself as I'm a knew old kid on this block. 62 years young and a car addict most of my life but have just now gotten into Fords in my later years. In the process of restoring a 57 Tbird that I found in an old garage where it had sat for at least thirty Michigan years. Right now the frame is painted, body on the rotissorie, the block and heads are back and going togeather. I do this myself evenings and Sundays so progress is steady by jerks at best. Anyway, enough about that.

Kinda feel like a dipstick askin this but, I'm in the middle of putting my 312 back togeather after being apart for a few months. As forgetfull as I am anymore I thought I was pretty smart baggin and labeling the bolts but now that it's going togeather I realize there is two holes in the block to press the dipstick in, one in the back middle and one in the front. I know that the dipstick goes in the back one in my application but for the life of me I can't remember what was taken out of the front one. Any help out there.
