The 1985 Chevrolet El Camino dipstick length is 27 inches. The dipstick needs to be exact in order to measure the oil properly.

Either the dealer or a wrecking yard. If a chrome dipstick is acceptable, you can often get them in cataloges and performance shops.

In a 1990 Chevy 305 engine, the oil dipstick is typically located on the passenger side of the engine block. It is a long, thin metal tube with a brightly colored handle, usually yellow or orange, that you can pull out to check the oil level. Make sure the engine is off and cool before checking the oil. If you're having difficulty locating it, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for a diagram.
ya...its a sbc...they all interchange
Correct, there is no one dipstick that will fit all vehicles. What you need is a dipstick that is the correct length. If you have lost yours, then go to your local salvage yard and find a car with the same engine. Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, Ford Mondero, are all the same. Look for one with the same engine, either the 2.0 or 2.5. The dipstick from any of these will fit. Another alternative is to get any dipstick that will actually fit and be long enough. Drain your oil and change the filter. Add the correct amount of oil that is required for an oil & filter change. Start the engine and run for 1 minute. Shut the engine off, Wait one hour and check the level on the dip stick you are using. Mark the level of the oil on that stick, and use that as the full mark. This way you can make your own dipstick.
Only two things.If there is no oil showing on the dipstick, there is not enough oil in the engine.OrThe dipstick is not pushed all the way in place.
The part that the oil dipstick goes into is called the oil filler tube or dipstick tube. It serves as the conduit for the dipstick to access the oil reservoir in the engine. This tube allows for the measurement of oil levels and provides a means to add oil when necessary.
To read the oil dipstick in the 1997 Ford F150, remove the dipstick from the oil reservoir. Wipe the dipstick clean and then place it back into the reservoir. Then, remove the dipstick again and look for the height of the oil on the stick. It should be in the "Full" range.
Make sure you are putting the dipstick in all the way. It could be that your oil level is so low that it is not yet showing on the dipstick.
the dipstick hole is on the passengers side about 2 inches behind the knock sensor *on pre 1978 blocks the hole is on the drivers side in the same orientation as mentioned The dipstick hole is kind of right behind the starter. If your dropping it in an older vehical you wont have the knock sensor of course.
