Larry-
Get out the die grinder, or get the tube & stick from a Rover.

to full mark is 2-13/16", 2 qt mark is 1-3/16", add 1 qt is 2" up. Going from 
the
underside of the round cap to the full mark is 11-1/8". Note that the Buick 
stick is
1/4" wide, the Rover is narrower to fit into the extension tube.
I have a spare for $150.00 if you want to grab it before I put it on E-bay, 
where I
will probably get $200.00 for it.
