I'm looking for a good used original (NOT aftermarket) oil dipstick for my 1987 Cutlass 442. It came with an aftermarket one and it doesn't fit very well. I'm pretty sure any dipstick off of a 307 V8 from 81-87 would work from either an engine code Y or 9. Let me know if you have one!
Thanks!

 

They have them at your local Chev dealer for around $20

 

Fugly yellow handle nowadays
should be a thread here with pix

"good used original"

I have that. Lots of them.
If you know what PN you need [stamped into it] that would make it super easy

otherwise, the length of the tube from where it meets the block to the top end, need not be precise as long as it's a OEM tube.

 

I do have the part number. Luckily I have two 87 442s and I grabbed the part number off of my other car that has an original dipstick.

Part #: 22532121 M

I already looked up the part number in a random Google search and a few GM parts direct places had them and they don't appear that expensive. I suppose I could get a new one but I was looking for just a good old fashioned used one. The new one might be slightly different. I'm trying to get this one back to original.
The handle is all black with a slightly extended finger hook. The shaft of the dipstick is twisted about 1/4 of the way up starting at the bottom.
Thanks!
