Thanks to those who replied to my post concerning
the replacement of the tube and dipstick for the 727 transmission in
my '65 convt. I contacted the local Chrysler/Jeep dealership and spoke
with a very helpful guy in the parts dept. The short version is: The
dipstick is still available (new) but the tube has been dropped from
production. Unfortunately, the tube for my '65 must come from another
'65 donor car (only) as this particular dipstick was used for the '65
model year...period. And it wasn't used on other "lesser
models" either, just the Imperial. The part number for the tube is
different for Imperials from other years as well as from other
Chrysler/
Plymouth/Dodge models from '65. I
confirmed this today with Lowell Howe, who concurred with the local parts
man. The tranny was different on the '64 Imperial and the engine was
different on the '66. Just wanted this information to be available
as some thought a tube from other years/models would work. I
learn something new about my '65 all the time! Thank God for Lowell
and his fleet of parts cars!
