I’m not sure of is if the dipstick tube belongs with my dipstick. The whole car is new to me and I’ve been spending time unraveling and correcting a few mysteries, this is one of them.
I'm figuring this in.
That's why I said to buy a new dipstick n tube, or..if it entertains you just keep on your current path of investigating tubes n sticks.
Have fun, gotta love old cars.
