transmission dipstick

[Charger Ted]

How long should the transmission dip stick be for a 66 dodge charger automatic with 318?

I dont have an "in inches" answer for you, but if you have the tube housing in-hand, the stick will protrude about 3/4" of an inch below it when fully inserted, IIRC. The full level on a 727 trans is pretty much at the overflow of the dipstick tube hole at the trans case when full if you understand what i mean.

Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my question. My dipstick has a bolt attached to the end, welded or something. I have always filled the fluid to the fill line but get fluid leaking on the ground. It has occurred to me that maybe it is the wrong length dip stick and maybe i am over filling it causing the leak. That's why I want the length. The tube is still attached.
TIA
