[DeTomaso] MORE dipstick confusion???

[Garth Rodericks]

Ignore those other dipsticks.  When I get home I'll measure My original dipstick tube has never been removed from my car until my current rebuild. It's out of the block now so I can easily measure it when I get home, along with the original dipstick. BTW, my dipstick was never shortened per the Ford TSB either, so it's as it came.


Cheers!

Hi guys, Larry Finch was kind enough to mail me what is purportedly an original 
standard Mustang 351C dipstick and tube.   Although the tube and dipstick were 
both a bit mangled, I was able to get them installed. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the dipstick extended much 
further into the oil pan than even the too-long Pantera dipstick???? Check out all three side-by-side here: http://www.poca.com/index.php/gallery/?g2_itemId=36086 Now I'm REALLY confused! Mike
