    I need a dip stick tube, WHERE to find it???

     



    Ok folks I just spent 30 minutes trying to find this info via Google & found NOTHING
    It's for my 88 Buick Wagon with a Oldsmoble 307 in it.
    So where in the hell does a guy find this obscure part???
    Doesn't someone out there sell dipstick tubes????..joe

    LOKAR makes fancy ones, I think Moroso has some for their pans, otherwise a junk yard maybe? Billet specialties has a dipstick that fits directly into the block and doesn't use the tube.

    Good Luck, Kitz

    You can get chevy 350 disptick tubes all day long at autozone (chromed of course ). What is the odds they would fit your application, I wonder.

    Well i took a shot in the dark & called the dealer & what a surprise I got when the parts guys said, "yep I can get it for $20 & some change". I about fell out of my chair because I thought the chances of the dealer being able to get it was slim to none...joe
