I have a 1967 Chrysler Newport Custom that I want to check the oil level in the A/C compressor before I try to see if the A/C works.
I have the FSM and read and made up the dipstick for checking the oil, I know where the two spots are to check from on the compressor but the dimensions they give for 6oz. or 8oz. ,min. and max., I don't understand where to measure from.
The instruction for making the dipstick say to grind off the threads on one side of the brass fitting.
Is that so the fitting fits into the hole the plug screws into?
Do I measure from essentially the body off the compressor, down the dipstick, to the highest oil level on the dipstick?
Looking at the dimensions it's giving I'm not really sure where to measure from and to.
Thanks.
