How much oil?

I have searched, looked at FAQ and can not find the answer.
Can you tell me how much oil, with a new filter, my 69 Cutlass 350 takes?
5 qt?
5.5qt?
I would like to know the correct amount. I had to fabricate a oil dipstick housing.
Thanks in advance.

The pan holds 4 quarts, the filter holds 1.

So, five.

Once you get the oil and filter changed, run the engine for a couple of minutes and turn it off. Let the oil drain back into the pan for about 5 mins and then verify your full mark on the stick.
