Hey Guys...I just finished pulling my engine detailing along with the engine compartment. Can anyone tell me what color the DIp Stick
top to the transmission should be. I know the oil dip stick top is blue

TIA
Rick

The C4 automatic trans tube itself should be semi-gloss black.

The dipstick handle itself should be natural. The problem with leaving it natural for very long is it will oxidize/rust. You can clean it up and clear it or paint it with a light metallic gray/silver paint to imitate close to the original look. If you're going 100% concourse and planning on competing with the car at shows I would go with the clear method.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.
Also, someone told me that the carb return spring should be green. Would you know if that is correct.

No, I don't know for sure. MCA judging rules only say the V8s should be black.

NPD lists one for 65-67 6cyl (part # 9737-1A, on page 96 of the 2007 catalog) but they don't say anything about it being concourse approved as they do with several others.
