Who has a standard 383 dip stick they can measure for me. I just need the lenght from where it sits on top of the tube to the end. Thanks

Not sure what you're solving for, but I once had to adjust my dipstick to read accurately. Aftermarket/replacement pan and a new dipstick tube assembly.

Filled pan with 5 quarts, then cut the top off the hollow tube until the oil read 'full' on the stick.

My 70 383 dipstick measures 23" from the resting collar to the very tip of the dipstick. 20 3/8" from collar to the full line Hope this helps.

You should be more concerned with where the FULL and ADD marks are than overall length .

I am but I got to get it where I can read it, guess I'll get under it and pull the tube and clean the end of it off so it don't wipe it off when I pull it out
