Dipstick tubes are created equal for chrylser 440 engines. The only
exception is the motorhomes which necessarily have long tubes in sticks to
read from the front of the vehicle. But any stick and tube from any 440
should work, and you can ask for one for a 77 and probably get one from any
major rebuilder like PAW. They advertise in the auto magazines. Give em a
call and I am certain they will help; you out. Good luck, Ron
