My 69 cuda 340 is missing the original dipstick and stand tube. As far as shape and length, are they the same for a 69 and 70 340?
Thanks in advance -

I have a 70 340 I can measure the tube and dipstick length tomorrow when I get home from work.
Also I have a couple of new in the box MP repo tube, dipstick that I can measure.
I would assume that all 318 or 340 are the same. I just recently took a tube and dipstick out of a 74 318 and stuck it in a 72 340 and it read the oil level correct.
I think the only difference between tubes and sticks are truck or car oil pan.

Thanks, I have what I believe to be a mopar performance or DC chrome one in there. It's been in there I was told for 40 years. I would prefer OEM or NOS. I found an NOS for a 70 cuda but dont know if theres a difference. Sometimes ma mopar made for some quirky reason little differences. -G
Bump this thread around 4pm eastern time so I remember to measure the parts for you.

Small block dipstick tube lengths are as follows:
1964-69 9.125"
1970-74 7.875"
Those measurements are the overall lengths and not what is just sticking out of the block....

I just measured a new MP one, it is 12” long overall.
I guess they are meant to be trimmed down.
