While looking at the parts manual for the 1967 Scorpion I noticed a gas measuring stick listed as part # 856800. Anyone have one that can post a picture and dimensions?
Thanks!

Its nice to have a picture of it and what the measurements are. Where were they kept when not in use?

Good question. I've seen them sitting in the gas tank. The top of the stick sticks right up and touches the top of the gas cap inside.
I've also seen them sitting in the under seat toolbox if you have a Mark III or IV that has one.
You might wonder if the stick will fall down into the tank and get lost forever. It seems like it will not, but perhaps other members can comment on the reality of what happens over the years.

I guess I thought they were designed to be left in the tank. That is where ours was from 69 on up.
