69 427 dip stick tube seal

[Greg L.]

What is the proper seal to seal the dip stick tube to the oil pan tube for the 69 big blocks?

The AIM shows it as a rubber tube...is that correct? If so are these available any where and if not what are you guy using to replicate this seal?

Thanks

It's not a tube, at all. It's an o-ring-like seal of GM #274244 and it's still available from GM under the original part number. About 5 bucks, GM list.

Yes Joe you are correct.

I had a longer and closer look at my AIM and I see that the seal that you reference is an O-ring on the dipstick tube itself. What I mistook for a rubber tube type seal was actually the metal tube on the oil pan that receives the dipstick tube.

Thanks for clearing that up.
