Dip Stick

I am looking for a source to buy an oil dip stick for my 67 Cutlass 330 motor. The chrome aftermarket dip stick that came with the car is crap and has a very tight fit. Used would be OK. What other engines would use the same dip stick?

I used the chrome aftermarket DS, another member advised me to file the flare slightly to allow it to fit in the block, measure the old and new flare w calipers to get a similar size.

also the chrome DS is not stamped the same as the original as far as full and add. see pic below the flares are lined up the stampings show the different level

After any dipstick change I always check the oil level after a fresh oil change. If it's off I use a file and put a notch at the correct level.
