dipstick length?

When someone gets a chance, would you measure how long it is from the top of your c-6 dipstick down to the full mark? When I swapped out my 3-spd a couple months back, the tech that rebuilt my c-6 gave me another stick with a mark ground on it where he said was full. Just want to check on it.

Thanks,
Dan Blackwell

Dan, I went out and measured mine for you. It is exactly 23-3/4 " from the top of the dip stick's "cap" (at the bottom of the finger loop handle)to the full line.
Measuring from the bottom of the stick up to the full line is 2". Mine is a 1979 C6, so I hope that don't make a difference.

Hi Dan, my '68 with it's original trans. measures 18 7/16" from the top of the cap down to the FULL mark. The ADD mark is 3/8" below it and the end is 1" further.
