dip stick measurement

[kenaroo2002]

the stop on the dip stick for my 49 B1C is loose. I am in need of a measurement from the end of the dip stick that goes into the dip stick tube to the top of the stop so I can put it in correct possision and tack weld it. Will be very appreciative of any help.

If you get a longer dipstick, you can save a lot of money on oil.

thanks for pointing out to me that all dip sticks are not alike. My dip stick is like the lower one in the photograph. it measures 151/4 inches from tip to where the stop is on the one in the photo.

Can you send me another closer pic showing "FULL", "ADD OIL" with the measurements.My dipstick is the longer model.

I no longer have the short dipstick so no photo available.

Doesn't that mean that all engines that have the dipstick tube use the longer one, and the shorter one is for the blocks w/o the tube where the dipstick goes right into the block?

Possibly but I do not know for sure.

The long one looks like the one in the 230 in my 1 ton, the short one like the one in the 218 in my 36 Plymouth.  The 36 doesn't have a tube-the dipstick goes right into the block behind the distributor near the bottom of the block.  Mike
