is this good to go?
I have one vendor telling me he offers the correct .328 stick/tube for all 67-91 AMC V8 blocks. Makes sense.
But when I check the part number and some other vendors it comes up for a Jeep 72 and up.
I can't see any in person and check OD with a micrometer, or it would be easy.
Prices range from about 15$ to over 44$ delivered for what I think is the same part.
Thank you.

The only one I would trust on fitting is the Bulltear.com one.
You can not trust the Dodge/Jeep ones as they are too big and do not fit into the hole. Some say you can file it down to fit but I have not tried this so cant say it will work.
I can tell you the Dodge/Jeep ones I got about 10 years ago do not fit and I need one for my street car project so I might try the file trick as I do have one here.

When did you get it? Maybe it was real old stock? As said I got 2 of them years ago and when I used 1 in my drag motor it would not fit in all the way. Now this is not bad as it takes more oil to hit the mark

Is the issue the OD of the tube itself or the two belts?
The OD of mine is .321 to .324 for the tube itself going in the block
The two flares are in the .34 to .35 range.
The tube itself following the curve is about 17.5 inches,
and the dipstick blade from tip to bottom of the yellow handle about 20 inches.
Not sure how this compares to what most of you are using.

Flares are TOO BIG on new dipstick tubes. You cant sand them they will desenegrate.

This is form BullTea's site
So from the looks of it no it won't
 Like I said it's in and dose not leak. Also when you do put one in make sure you have the stick in the tube to help guide it as it has to pass thru a baffle in the pan and the stick helps. I also had the valve cover bracket on to help guide it too.
