1963 421 dipstick length
Hi All. I just recently picked up a 1963 421, it's in a black 63 Cat with Ventura buckets and a 4 speed. Runs OK but has an aftermarket dipstick that does not reach the oil after I changed the oil and put in 6 quarts with filter.
Can anyone tell me how long the dipstick should be on a 63 421, with and without A/C? (Not sure how this 421 was originally equipped.) Looking for the length from tip to edge of bell that slides over tube. Thanks, Chris |

Chris, does the dipstick tube attach to the valve cover screw?
I am getting ready for a trip but before I leave I'll share '63 421 non-A/C length if possible. |

Thanks guys. I'll try to cut down a later model A/C dipstick and make my own marks on it.
