Default Driver Side dip stick

I found out My new short block I waiting to show up at my front door Mite have a Drivers Oil Dip stick.

Anyone knows what new dip stick I should order for a left sided dip stick.

I was told the vett needs a longer tube dip stick than the normal dip sticks for most other cars.

I don't need a high buck Bling Bling dip stick a stock black one will do for me.

The driver's side dipstick was used in the earlier blocks and some aftermarket blocks (Dart, World etc). Just get a generic dipstick at Autozone off the shelf for a 70's small block Chevy. They are all the same.

Seems like the last GM long block I bought didn't have any dipstick at all. Just a plug for the hole that you didn't put a dipstick in as you had the option for either side.
