Where is the oil dipstick located on a 1974 Chevy Nova?

The oil dipstick on a 1974 Chevy Nova is typically located on the right side of the engine block, near the front, and is usually marked with a brightly colored handle.

To check the oil level, simply pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to read the oil level.
