1965 396 Dip Stick

[Andy C.]

I am trying to put together a survey of the types of DIPSTICKS used in the 1965 (396) corvette. I have attached some pics. Some have a completely round handle and others have a flattened round handle both have a Salmon tip. Some have Embossed / De-embossed with raised letters and others have am embossed / recessed. The 65 Judging Manual wording is of embossed / De-embossed but shows a PIC of an embossed only. If you have a 396 car can you look at yours?

Andy, I wonder if Bill Donavan in our chapter may have some insite on his dip stick. He had a Bowtie 65 396 car.

My May 65 car has the flattened round handle with a salmon plug as in your pic. #4 and the raised letters as in pic. #1.
