Just to clarify for those w/o parts books: 68-73 350 with 20-5/8" length dipstick. 1st type 68s used a longer 23-1/8" dipstick and different tube.

Yer welcome! I was hoping it would work on a 74 350 is why I looked it up! Totally different tube and dipstick unfortunately, or you and I would do business.

I just checked the length of these tubes and they are 15" long. The package was opened before I got them, any idea what they fit? I know they are not for a 455.

Parts book has a note that this p/n is 14-3/4" overall length, and extends 9-5/8" from the block. Sounds in range to me. Go by the part #. I think you'll be ok selling it by that.

Thanks again, this is a great help. The tubes are actually a little less than 15" was measuring them in the package.

Thanks, Apparently the dipstick tube applications are more complicated than I ever realized.
