Unfortunately, I've broken my own rule several times--much to my dismay. Cardinal rule is you NEVER throw anything away for any reason until after the project is done, up, and running. And enforcing that self-imposed rule is the reason I was able to supply you with oil pump bolts. Ah, live and learn.

The dipstick is just a piece of 3/8 tubing. Get some brake tube in  3/8 and
cut to length. You'll have to file it down a bit to fit into the block. Try
to make it tight and jb weld it for good measure. If you want to get fancy,
flare the top with a double flare to get a better seal with the felt on the
dipstick. The installed height of the tube is 4-3/8 inches.

Regards,
Bob Lang

Bob,

Thank you. Just before I read your reply, I had just gone to my spare parts
shelf and found a 3/8" length of brake line, already flared at one end. I
will have to somehow reduce the diameter where it presses into to the
block. The installed height  measurement you provided is exactly what I
needed. Very kind of you to respond. Thank you.
