    your 58 oil stick answer

    The 55 Corvette 265 oil dipstick fig. A measures 17 3/4 and B measures 19. a two piece.
    The oil tube diameter end that goes in to the block is 3/8 for 55 Corvette.
    The oil tube is 6 1/4 long for 55 Corvette , is nearly straight.( this is the engine with out the oil filter)

    The 56 oil tube diameter end that goes in to the block is 7/16. for the 265 and 283 engine and is curved.
    The tube is 8 1/2 long for the 56- 265 with oil filter and all 283 engines .

    Beginning in 56 the oil stick had a small logo "M" stamped in to the handle and also two piece.
    PS. Notice that the truck #3739830 is the same as 58 Corvette.

    Roy - I really appreciate your posting these old "Service News" documents.
    Unfortunately, this one is just slightly too pixilated, I can't make out the fractions on the length of the 1958 3739830 stick. Is it 19 5/16 and 20 5/16 ?
    Thanks, ...Al '58 245hp
