I have a 66-352-COM. Are you missing the trans dipstick or the engine dipstick? I can measure mine for lenth and width and where the marks are if we can be sure that 65 and 66 are the same. Thanks, Lyman.

It's a transmission dipstick I'm looking for. I'm not sure if the 65 and 66 are the same. Another forum suggested that any dipstick will work if you notch the full mark on the dipstick adjacent to the transmission pan/case junction. It seems logical.

Here you go- overall lenth from dust cap to bottom tip is 19 and 3/4 inches. The add mark is 1 and 3/16 inch from the bottom tip. the full mark is 2 inches from the bottom tip. The lenth above the dust cap with the loop handle is about 3 inches. I am almost positive the 65 and 66 dipsticks are the same. My dipstick tube comes up to just under the right valve cover. Thanks, Lyman.

are you missing the stick only, or the tube too? I got a pretty ford red C.O.M. trans dip TUBE in the garage....
send me a PM if you need it.

Just the stick, I tried measuring the tube (while in the vehicle) and it was next to impossible to get an accurate measurement.

thanks "jeepbut" for those measurements. I'll cut one to size and see what happens.
