Does anyone know for sure how far the oil level should be below the surface on the front of the block that the tube goes into? If I knew that, I could measure the tube and dipstick and know for sure where to mark the dipstick.

I don't think that the dipstick and tube on my Cleveland are stock. The dipstick is a flexible coil spring with poorly marked end stick piece. They came with the car so I don't know where they were bought. I would like the Cleveland measurement frmm the block hole down so I can double check. I agree with the statements about the pan not making a difference for desired fill level.
