auto dipsticks

is the dipstick for a 904 or 727 either small or big block the same ? If not how is one to tell the difference?

904 and 727 use different dipsticks for sure. I ran into this when I replaced the 904 in my '74 Duster with a 727 (and then replaced the 727 with an A833).

The 904 Dipstick Tube and Dipstick will fit in a 727, but the tube has to be bent differently to fit.
