I don't know if 8RT dipsticks are stamped 8RT. I do know that my 1950 Merc oil pan dipstick is marked with a "M".

Hope someone else with an 8RT pan and dipstick can chime in. I wonder what the measurements are for the 8BA dipstick with the sump in the middle of the stock pan.
I have a bunch of dip sticks and the 8RT's are stamped 8RT just like an 8BA
