[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 12, Issue 36

 Rick at Sunbeam Specialties sells a dip stick for around $20. It has the short curved handle. Part # TM50. This worked with the generator out of the box but had to bend the tube slightly when changed over to alternator with the old CAT alternator bracket.

There are two part numbers in the Parts Manual for dipsticks.

I found a drawing of the earlier version (1224808) but was unsuccessful on the latter (6100734).

The drawing I found referenced Ford part number C20E-6750-A, but I doubt they differed very much.

Scott Drake has them but you can't purchase them directly from him, you have to go through one of his dealers (they are all over the US).

I find it strange that Rootes shows the Ford part number for the dip stick tube which has to be bent to work in a Tiger, but they don't show a Ford number for the long finger pull dip stick which is a regular Ford stick with the end bent to about 85 degrees, way easier to do than the tube.

Darn I forgot to include

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

I believe Scott Drake is making them.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] dipstick tube 260CID engine

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”

Subject: [Tigers] dipstick tube 260CID engine

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

                I have 1 catalog that shows a C3OZ-6750-B dipstick which has almost exact measure as C2OZ-6750-B.

I’m not sure why there is a suffix letter change from C2OZ-6750-A – the measurements look the same.

There is no illustration of these parts to indicate differences.

C2OZ-6750-B before 8/20/64

C3OZ-6750-B after 8/20/64
