lokar ED-5002 dipstick will not fit

So i ordered a ED-5001 for my blazer with a GM crate 350 that i purchased in 2001. I noticed that it was the wrong one when i looked at the block, so i ordered a ED-5002 for a pre-1979 block. The hole on my crate engine is too small. I went to try it on my original engine that sitting on my stand and it fit right on.
Why would a gm crate engine have a different hole dimension for the dip on a crate motor? Or am am doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Not to be upsetting to ya, but so many parts.........so little time.

That remind ya of something, to me the aftermarket gets scrutinized to great extent.

Yes I figures it out. I borrowed a pin gauge set and was finally able to determine there was years of build up on the lip if the hole. After rigging up some interesting handles to a fine round file I was able to clean it out enough to put the tube it. If it wasn't for the pin gauge set I still would have been scratching my head.
