    Ray, It's the same length as a standard stepdown dipstick.  If you need one let me know.

    Lance The dipstick tube for hudsons with power brakes has a curve in it so that it coul be pulled out under the power brake booster instead of reaching over booster and way down under. and was wondering if I need a flexible dipstick for easy removal. The tube for power brakes has a piece of thin metal that I think is held on by one oil filter bolts.

    Lance I am not really having a problem just a little something extra that some cars do not have. Ray

    The September 54 Hollywood I had in the shop a few years back had a longer tube and a longer dip stick. I have searched my pictures and can't find one. Darn It!

    Possibly a running change?
