Does anyone know/have the GM part number for the dipstick, and what side would be correct for these trucks? I have a 700R with it on the PS.
Also, I would like to use a GM HEI dizzy. The one I have is old and pitted. Anyone have a P/N for a GM HEI, rebuilds are fine.

For the dip stick and tube GM # 3876870 upper tube, the correct dip stick is GM # 3951576 and the correct lower tube is GM # 3951600, all still available from GM, classic industries, and probably a few other sources.
The lower tube slips in before the upper tube. All GM production motors came from the factory with a lower tube. The lower tube keeps the dip stick positioned in place to keep from getting hit by the crank shaft counter weights.
