1970-74 Corvette NOS Oil Dipstick RED Tip Big Block 427 454 #3980189

Description

Here is a factory GM produced oil dipstick or indicator with the red tip. It appears as a NOS stick (with some extremely light shelf wear on the stick portion) with gray phosphate coating on the stick and natural finish on the handle but no packaging. After exhaustive research, I believe this would have come on 1970-1974 Chevrolet 454 Corvette from the factory and very likely Camaro and Chevelle that were altered by Dea
lers such as Nickey, Yenko, Berger, Harrell, etc. There is still some debate ongoing in NCRS circles as judging literature shows this stick was also used on 1968-1969 Corvette with 427. Factory Chevrolet literature doesn't agree with that so you be the judge if it is right for those years/applications. This is the long stick (27 3/8" overall) with NO dimple in the handle. This would be too long to fit a 396 or 402 big block correctly. Other dimensions are:
Bottom of the bell to the end of the stick: 24 1/4
Bottom of the bell to ADD mark: 23 1/2"
Between ADD and FULL marks: 3/4"
From ADD mark to end of stick: 7/8"
The stick is marked as follows:
ADD 1 QT
