Hi,
I need a oil dip stick for a 57 fairlane 292. The handle is missing on mine. Can I get one used or buy a new one ?
Thanks

I have never seen a repro dipstick.  Try Prestige Thunderbird in Santa Fe Springs Ca.  Ask for Frank.  They have a lot of used YBlock parts.  Make sure and tell them where the sump on you oil pan is.

I saw SOMEONE that caries them. I will rack my brain to try to find out. I think I may have killed that brain cell though. I will look.

Did you try dearborn, macs and carpenter's?

I tried all the vendors, They are repro-ing the one for the Thunderbird (rear Sump). Did not check with Prestige, thinking they were just Thunderbird related. I did get one in great shape from 57chero here on this site. But in checking specific dimensions found My Country Squire has the wrong one and the three loose Y-Blocks I have either have the wrong one or broken one. Thanks to 57chero for the one I got so far.
