I was considering the flexible distick from Milodon (22060) and I would like to have feedback on them or any other good alternative. They specify that those are designed for center sump pump... I guess this is the standard configuration for my 360? Any pictures? Thanks,

After I drove the tube in I used a propane torch to heat it just above the block and gently bent it to clear the fuel pump. Mine was a mile long and the dip stick hit the baffle in the Milodon pan so I cut the tube and stick to match the ones in my 340. The stick will have to have a new full mark put on it.

What brand of dipstick did you use?
