The dipstick tube is 19 and 1/2" long as close as I can measure it. I run 6 qts. with filter change to bring it to the full mark. Hope this helps!
Your engine is close to mine, a 1972 Grand Turino. Tomorrow I'll measure what I've got and compare to yours. But, I'm pretty sure I've got a replacement, chromed one; although, from what I remember, it did say either Ford, or FMOCO, on it. I'll have to look again tomorrow. Thanks for the measurements.
