NOTE, This will not fit the 7/16" engine block used on some 1966 Cadillac's, it is available in a separate listing.
DESCRIPTION
This is a new reproduction oil dipstick indicator AND TUBE for the 1966 Cadillac's with the 3/8 inch dipstick tube only. These are hand made to work like the original indicator. They are for the proper 3/8 tube size, that we also make and is sold separately, or in a set with a discount. This is a set with both the indicator and tube.
The handle is the NOT same tube style loop but is made with the flat style from the 65-66 Cadillac's with the 7/16 tube, with the proper dimensions on top. The tube stop is NOT the same as THE ORIGINAL. The 3/8 tubes had a bell shaped stop, the cost of tooling to replicate these on a limited quantity is too great at this time. The stop we use is the same as the 65-66 engines with the 7/16 tubes. The FULL and ADD indicators are clearly marked (the size and font may vary slightly as we use common stamps for all years to reduce tooling costs) These are made from 1075 spring steel and then heat treated to resist bending as the originals. This is a very difficult and labor intensive project to undertake but we feel the results are worth the effort.
Indicators vary widely throughout the fifties and sixties as do the tubes that go in the engine. The year of the engine and more importantly the oil pan used will determine the indicator needed.
Tubes and indicators are also sold separately.
