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

=20

Tube =96 C2OZ-6754-A is listed by Ford at 15.83=94 long, for 260 and 289 =
engines
with generator

I measured my tube at very near this length with about 14 =BE=94 above =
the
timing cover to its end.

=20

Dipstick - C30Z-6750-B=20

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=20

24.44" shield to end

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

Additionally:     Width =3D .295=94    Thickness =3D .060=94

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=85=85.not sure if anyone has ever made a =
pattern of
the original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.
