Correct oil dipstick tube?

Hey all!
I was taking the heads off my 69' 98 and bent the $hit out of my oil dipstick tube. I found a couple links for 2 different tubes, which one of these is correct for my 98?

The C240421 says in the description that it's 15" long for a 350. The description for C240420 says its 16.75" and for a 400/455.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the visual reference, I wasn't sure if that measurment was the whole tube or just the exposed part, but this answered that .
