Drew I'm leaving for the week, so I wanted to let you know and all, that I did have 6 Quarts in my motor. Drew the stick I am using is the same that was on your engine, so I was using 7 quarts in that motor. I haven't changed the oil since 1989 but it sat all that time till about a year till you came and got it. Had to be the wrong stick. I never realized or gave it a thought. Last couple of years I drove it, I took it to Jiffy Lube. I was lazy and very buisy then and drove it daily for work. It never leaked, so maybe check the seals just to be sure. I put alot of miles on it and when I bought it it had alot back in 84. So there's the answer to 6 or7 quts.
