I just noticed on my new oil pan I got for my 289 it doesnt have a dip stick hole.. I dont see a opening on the motor either.. am I missing something here????

Early 302's have the dipstick in the timing cover you should be able to drill the boss out and use an early 302 dipstick or get a timing cover from that period they are on ebay all the time $10-20
Yes facing the motor it is to the left if I get a chance today I can take a quick picture of one for you I had to drill one out for my car when I put a 85 302 in my 69 and to keep the timing pointer the same for the 85 it was easier to drill that out than to switch covers and balancer
