67 400 dipstick Info Help

Looking for an owner of a 67 400 that could take a few pictures and provide dimensions of the ORIGINAL OEM dipstick. It will show 393974 as a stamped part number.
THANKS in advance for the Help

I have seen this part# stick with a long handle and a short handle. The short handle is what I've seen used in the 442's.

Are you 100% sure you have seen 393974 in both long and short handle?

Ignore the tape measure in the last picture. I was just showing the difference in the short handle 1966 and the long handle 1967. The long handle 1967 is #393974. The short handle 1966 is 386319.

I was thinking about the dipstick. I have a 1967 4V 425 engine in my other bay. I went to check out it's dipstick. Bad news was the handle is broke off, the good news is it's the same 393974# so I'm fairly sure it a run of the mill 1967 400/425 dipstick. The 425 engine is from a running 1967 Delta.

The long one is for cruise control. Unless you have it, you want the short one.

The long handle one I posted is from my 1967 Olds 98 and yes, it has cruise control on it. It's equipped with the, one of none, 1967 400 E block, C heads engine. To long of a story on this car. It runs great.
