Description
Classic Chevy small block engines built through 1979 use a dipstick configuration matched by this braided stainless steel dipstick, covering a wide range of small block V8 Gen. I displacements: 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, and 400 cubic inches.
The dipstick enters at the engine block and is designed with header clearance in mind, which matters on builds using long-tube headers where access to the stock dipstick location can be limited.
The dipstick measures 17 inches and uses a flexible braided stainless steel tube. It is a fixed, non-locking design.
It's commonly used in Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, and Corvette (two-piece rear main seal, through 1979); Caprice, Impala, and Monte Carlo; C/K-series trucks, Suburban, and Blazer (through 1979); and Pontiac Firebird and GTO. This dipstick is not intended for 1962-1967 Chevy II, Chevelles with steering positioned behind the crossmember, V8-powered Vega or Monza, or certain Corvette configurations.
Featuring a black-finished aluminum handle, the dipstick adds a polished, show-quality appearance to Chevy small block engine bays.

Common in Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, and Corvette (two-piece rear main seal); Caprice, Impala, and Monte Carlo; C/K-series trucks, Suburban, and Blazer; and Pontiac Firebird and GTO. Not compatible with 1962-1967 Chevy II, Chevelles with steering behind the crossmember, V8 Vega or Monza, or certain Corvette configurations.
