Big Block Oil Dipstick Tube

Looking for a good big block dip stick tube for my 72 402 motor.
Mine is chewed up from rubbing on the exhaust manifold and I cannot insert the dipstick.

Mine is curved and rotted near the bend from rubbing on the exhaust manifold. I made it worse when I replaced the manifold gaskets. Don't want to take one from you if you need it but if you don't need the bent one let me know. Mine also mounts on one of the exhaust manifold bolts.

Figures
How much different are they from a small block?
Wonder if I could get one at Yearwood.

Re: Big Block Oil Dipstick Tube

Pics of 71 and 72 big block dip stick tube assemblies.

First is a big block motor removed from a 1971 Sierra Grande GMC. Dip stick tube is straight.

Next is big block motor from 1972 car. Dip stick tube is bent.



Needing an original bent one like in second pic. Goes between exhaust manifold and heads.

Jeff thanks for offering this up. If I mess up the other one then I will see if yours is still available.
