[Tigers] dipstick tube 260CID engine

[Ron Fraser]

Darn I forgot to include

Most of the Mustang and Falcon catalogs should carry these parts.

I believe Scott Drake is making them.

Here is some additional info

 

Tube – C2OZ-6754-A is listed by Ford at 15.83” long, for 260 and 289 engines
with generator

I measured my tube at very near this length with about 14 ¾” above the
timing cover to its end.

 

Dipstick - C30Z-6750-B 

This is the Ford part number listed for 1964, 260 and 289 engines with
generators.

22.48" shield to FULL

23.32" shield to ADD 

24.44" shield to end

This is extremely close to the measurements I took on my dipstick.

Additionally:     Width = .295”    Thickness = .060”

When I got my engine back from a high performance machine shop, they happily
pointed out the new chrome dipstick and dipstick tube they had obtained and
installed in the process. Unfortunately this will not fit correctly as you
can imagine. Mysteriously although they had returned some other parts, the
dipstick was missing and the old tube battered to the point of no use. I am
hoping to find a solution

.not sure if anyone has ever made a pattern of
the original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.

Rick
