Since it is a 120Y engine, use the matching 120Y dipstick.

Does the dipstick location go down the outside of the block to a bulge in the pan (which the 1200 pan does not have)?

Yes. Does the dipstick location go down the outside of the block to a bulge in the pan (which the 1200 pan does not have)?

The newer engines, starting with 1974 models, moved the dipstick to a totally different location! You might be able to tell by looking if that is the problem.I don't know but what you'll have to fit a B310 pan.
