425 Dipstick tube

In search of a dipstick and dipstick tube for a 65-67 425 Olds engine. I thought the 455 was the same but I was told they are not.
If someone can clarify or has one please let me know

Same block and same pan YES it might look different but is the same oil level.

There are multiple configurations of tubes and sticks - some are long and some are short. The important thing is the tube and stick must match as a set.

The 400 & 425 use the same guide and indicator. You can contact Walt Vallelunga as he has repo'd both. His email is waltvallelunga@yahoo.com

Tell him Mike Richards sent you.

Supercarsunlimited.com sells the replacement 455 set up which works fine.

If you want authentic original looking I can do an original one from a 65-67 442 which is the same.
