Re: Replacement engine oil dipstick tube...

You really only need to match upper tube and dip stick as a set. Example would be 1972 C10 or 1986 Camaro, it doesn't matter which. The only real difference is the length of the tube and dip stick, long or short. Pretty sure you can call GMC Paul and he'll help. That comb will assure the stick is the right distant below the crank throws. Just add oil to right level on the dip stick. Will probably be 4.5 or 5 quarts for an GM pan or who knows for an after market pan.
