Oil level

Post by rusty »

I just brought home a 64 A100 barn find in decent shape, I assume it was parked with a electrical problem since the coil is missing. I want to check the oil but this 6 cyl doesn't have a dipstick? Book talks about the oil level indicator can someone please enlighten me as to where that may be located?
Thanks

If you are missing your dipstick , Then you are missing your oil level indicator. Book may be referring to Idiot light that indicates it has some sort of oil pressure.
