Beautiful 440... But shouldn't the dipstick tube be routed between the exhaust manifold and valve cover?



Up to and including 69 the dipstick should be outside the exhaust manifold. From 70 on they were between the exhaust manifold and valve cover. But for over 100 years there were dipsticks behind the wheel!!!!:)



Awesome.. Now, time to correct my Daytona... Just found out too the handle to the dip stick itself is black... Thanks Jim over there on the "dark side".



What color should the dipstick tube and handle be on 69's??





From what I'm gathering, tube, left alone, natural. The dipstick handle loop is going to be black or natural.........






As far as the dip stick tube it is natural in those pictures(flash makes it look chrome) and the handle should be dipped in orange paint. I believe the Super Bee referenced was a lift off and they had Black handles.

I'd love to hear proof positive from a restorer like Paul Jacobs on that point myself. Ron
