I did some detective work today regarding dipsticks. I checked the ones in or survivor BB cars...both flat handle/yellow tip. I compared them to some others I have...and all though the imprint was slightly different they were the same length. That brings us to the dipstick tube...

I have 2 tubes that appear to be correct...but, I have a question. Does the dipstick extend past the end of the tube or does it just about come to the end?? I see a small hole in the tube...I assume this is for oil to come out if it's too full?? It would make sense to me that the dipstick would be totally inside the tube and the oil level would come up inside to allow for measurement??

**one of the dipstick tubes has an imprint on the flange that bolts to the motor..it looks like the letter J with a P attached..

thanks...wilma
