Haven't messed with the 80/800 series a lot so standard disclaimers apply.

It's double sump so the axle will clear the oil pan.... standard scout pan.

The cup goes against the beginning of the handle part, the dipstick goes way
in there.  The cup is above the wavy section.   You might want to find
yourself a new dipstick maybe?

IIRC the wipers are independently operated.

I want to say it's the same as the V8s.  Don't know if it uses a scout or
standard truck pump.  Either way you can purchase a rebuild kit.  The scout
V8 oil pumps are supposedly going to be produced new soon but are not
availible yet (so you still need a rebuild kit).

How's that for starters?
