Default Looking for a part help. 1980 Corvette

I am having a hard time trying to find an ORIGINAL dip stick for my TH350C automatic for my 1980 Corvette. All I see are cheap aftermarket ones. Any ideas where else to look? Thanks. Don

Not sure. I just want an original GM piece. Not some aftermarket junk.

The dipstick fit a slew of different cars... The last part number from GM, 10017293 was a generic replacement. However, google "1244421 Gm" and you'll see a wiki page that will offer you some insight of the other cars/trucks this dipstick was used for.

According to our system, part number 10017293 replaced the original part number 1244421 around Nov. 1983. http://www.gmpartswiki.com/w/1244421
