'67 289 oil dipstick tube
« on: June 19, 2015, 08:56:04 AM »
Is the mounting tab on the dipstick bent 90 degrees where it bolts to the block....or flat...if the coil is mounted with the same bolt, I'm assuming  the latter.

I believe you to be correct in your assumption. The 2nd one sure looks like mine.
