        And, if Richard doesn't have one, give David Sokolowski a call. He has hundreds of small adds running in the Driveline.

          If I remember correctly when I restored my 66 PG I needed a tube and ended up using one from a passenger car. I think I had to do a small modification to it but I don't recall exactly what it was.

            Does anyone know who makes replacement dipstick tubes for Powerglides and how long a correct one is for a ‘66? I am only finding 23” tubes and the one I have is closer to 26”. I would try and repair this one, but it is in poor condition

            The Corvette Powerglide dipstick tubes were unique to Corvettes. In addition, the 327 tube, GM #3825512, was discontinued without supersession in July, 1985. The 427 tube, GM #3895708, was discontinued without supersession in October, 1973. All of these factors are what makes it difficult to find an original tube. I do not know if these tubes are reproduced but, as Russ has mentioned, I would think that a passenger car tube could be adapted.
