On mine (6 cyl), there is a tube that comes up the side of the engine with a fitting on it that looks like a garden hose connection. That is the drain line for the oil pan (designed to have oil sucked out through it).

Let's see if we can post a photo ...



If that works(ed), you should be able to see the dipstick and the drain tube in the lower almost center. Mine is a 1972 250 Chevy inline 6.

See if yours has the hose fitting at the top of the dipstick like this picture shows.

You should have that same garden hose fitting on the top of your dipstick. Buy a hand pump that attaches to that and it is easy.
