I've got a universal case with no serial number and case markings 000.010.101D.
It's got an odd dipstick arrangement that screws into the tube. I've never seen one before.
Anyone familiar with this?

Never seen that application either.
IMO, It's a homemade dipstick tube. |

Yes! Type 3 engine with a home made dipstick and tube. Nothing wrong with that as long as the marks on the stick are calibrated correctly. In an open engine Buggy... perfect! If it's in a full bodied car you want to make sure the tinwork is modified to seal around it so that the engine cooling fan does not to suck hot air and road dust up past it.
What's with the bracket on the top of the engine? I am not familiar with that. |

Apparantly it came out of a Manx, so that makes sense, easy access.
I'm going to sell the case but I had to learn about the dipstick first, just too interesting. |

No clue, another mystery.
One thought I had on this was it was an industrial engine maybe that would explain the bracket? |

| I haven't messed with one for over 30 years but the bracket kinda looks like the bell-crank part of a Type 3 OEM dual carb linkage. |

It could be that. I too haven't messed with a dual car type 3 since about '73 or so. It was a '66 and we never had occasion to strip it down to the engine case. |
