I don't know if the factory dip stick works. I was under the impression that it did not so I ordered what was supposed to be the correct one for this pan, which happens to be from a Camaro. It's PN 12625031 tube and 12669528 stick. It looks fine for my build, but it does stick up quite a bit if you're trying to do something cleaner than my truck. Other than that it was a straightforward swap. I would definitely add the second mounting bolt on the oil pickup tube. Stock only has one but there is a treaded hole for a second and the tube that comes with the kit has a hole to let you utilize it.
