Default Re: 33 oil dipstick and tube

With respect, there's no surviving record of when your two vehicles were produced, only of the dates the original engine/transmission assemblies were built. Depending on the location of the assembly plants relative to the engine plant in Dearborn, the gap between the date of the engine manufacture and vehicle assembly could be weeks or even months later.


The addition of a tube to the oil pan for a revised dipstick was a '34 model change. There was no tube on a original '33 pan, but the dipstick was revised with the addition of a spot weld to completely enclose the loop of the handle.
