 Scott Drake has them but you can't purchase them directly from him, you ha=
ve 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 nu=
mber 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.

Here is some additional info

 =C2=A0

Tube =E2=80=93 C2OZ-6754-A is listed by Ford at 15.83=E2=80=9D long, for 26=
0 and 289 engines with generator

I measured my tube at very near this length with about 14 =C2=BE=E2=80=9D a=
bove the timing cover to its end.

 =C2=A0

Dipstick - C30Z-6750-B=20

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

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.

When I got my engine back from a high performance machine shop, they happil=
y pointed out the new chrome dipstick and dipstick tube they had obtained a=
nd installed in the process. Unfortunately this will not fit correctly as y=
