I think you have identified the issue. I do indeed have a tube that is 7 3/4", BUT my FULL mark on the dipstick is actually at 13 5/8". This is on a dipstick stamped as 8BA.
This also seems to validate what Ken and others have said. I think if I dumped another 2 qts in there, it may very well raise that level to 12 1/2". I'm going to try this and take a measurement at 4 qts and 5 and then just mark the dipstick.
And to clarify...I do not have the 8RT pan with the large clean out.
