What is the correct color of the plastic tab in the end of the loop of a 396 dipstick? Should it be painted gloss black like the rest of the dipstick handle?
If your referring to the button at the end of the loop it is salmon.I'm not sure if the dipstick itself is painted black.
Thanks
My original dipstick got mixed in with a couple others and I couldn't identify it. Each has a different color button and I remembered reading this somewhere but can't find it.
I found where one of my books calls for it to be painted gloss black. I was wondering if the button is painted also or left exposed. Any thoughts?

THe button or tab was originally red. It turns pink or salmon color with age.
