68/69 BB dipstick tube 3870324

[Roger G.]

From what I can tell, this is supposed to be the correct tube for a non air 69 427. Can someone tell me how long this tube is from the flare where it goes into the block, to the top of the tube? Was it straight or curved? ( my repro one is straight, and the expansion tank sits right over the loop) And finally did it have the part number stamped on it? Thanks, Roger

I don't have the length. However, the tube is not completely straight. It has about a 10-15 degree bend towards the bottom.

There was no part number stamped on the tube.

By the way, the tube does not install into the block. It installs into the oil pan. This is the case for all big blocks, Corvette and otherwise.

Thanks Joe, that helps
