1966 Olds 442 Crankcase Oil Dipstick

Anybody have crankcase oil dipstick that will work in my '66 442 w/400 engine? The handle rusted off when I was checking my oil yesterday...eeek! at least it didn't snap off in the tube. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

Hey Gerald, what do you mean by a "flat rod"?

I have a complete 66 400 sitting on a stand. I also have some various dip sticks and can compare them with the 66 dip stick. If I have a match, I'll let you know.

Not to hijack this thread. Are you aware if the dipstick and tube are the same for the 66 400 and 330.
Thanks
