if you change to the early manifolds you have to change your headpipe. the dipstick problem MAY or may not be there depending on which side of the engine it is on. the problem stems from location in the Oil pan itself so using the 85 manifolds will not solve the problem.
I THOUGHT by 79 they had changed location to the same as an 85 though. check it out first.
headers make it go away:-)
