I need a dipstick and tube for a Fordomatic transmission out of a 1964 Fairlane. Not exactly Cobra, but it is going behind a 289 in a small 2 seat sports car eventually...

You're welcome. Don't forget: the most important consideration is "does it fit?"

Doing some further digging, those won't work. They are for the iron case version that had the dipstick in the pan. I have the aluminum version that has the dipstick in the body. Thank you though, back to the drawing board.

If I could find a C4 5 bolt bell housing, I would junk the fordomatic.
