I searched earlier posts re the length of the engine dipstick tube on a 66 valiant with no joy. Can someone please tell me how long it is above where it enters the block? I have two motors sitting here and both have broken off tubes.

Ill check mine today for you.

Thanks Frank

The dipstick holder sticks out 3 " from the engine mounting point on my 66 Cuda.

I checked 3 of mine, and found 3 1/2, 3 3/4, and 4 inch.
If you have a stock oil pan, I would suggest installing 5 qts oil with a new filter, run the engine for a minute, install the stick and measure the distance from the block to the "stop" on the stick, when the stick reads full.

I had 2 7/8 and 2 @ 3" The 2 7/8 has been rebuilt so I figured it was supposed to be 3".
Good suggestion Charrlie.

Thanks men, it seems that there are a few possibilities so I'll go with the fill and check. Seems like the safest option
