RE: [Chrysler300] 300 G motor oil questions

[Andy Mikonis <r41hp@xxxx>]

Just pulled the 'stick out of my '61 NYer, because it
was here. It's about 26 1/4" long, the stopper is
anchored at around 23 1/2". It's sort of a cup-shaped
affair. George Riehl once told me their was a small
freeze plug available that made for a decent
replacement...just make a hole in it. Maybe yours
just fell off. It fell off my G's stick, too.
