dipstick size?

bet that got a few raised eyebrows......

anyway. I have a 60 starliner with stock cruise-o-matic trans, Missing a dipstick. tube is there just no dipstick,
Can someone with the same transmission please remove theirs and measure the distance from the overcap or dipstick stop at the top to the end of the dipstick and maybe include the measurements to the add and full marks? I cannot find anything aftermarket so I will be modifying something to work, but need the measurements or risk a empty or over full trans.

thanks
Jason

 

Most of them I know are about 5' 10" and 200 pounds.
Hey I'm just rattling your chain. I hope someone can help you out on this.

 

I have a 64 Mercury with the "merc-o-matic", let me know if thats the same thing and I'll be happy to measure it for you.

 

Do you know how much oil it takes ??

If you do. Add the correct amount, let it settle. Put the dip stick in. Pull it out and mark where the oil is. That = Full. Make another mark about 1/2" down and another 1/4" under that. Those = low and oh ****.

Hope that helps

 

Here's what i got. Customers 59 T-bird total length = 22.5 Full mark = 20.250 Low mark = 21.750. My 60 merc total length = 24.25 Full mark = 21.750 Low mark = 23.625. Not sure what trans is the same as yours so here are booth.

Thank You, that is all I really need, thru some reading and a little history on the cars, The 60 Mercury will have the correct measurements. Thank you again,

It's important to always wipe the dipstick off before measuring. Otherwise, the yardstick gets all messy and it's difficult to obtain accurate readings.
