727 torqueflite dipstick and tube

The exact thing hapaend to my 65 LeBaron. The shop guy said they were 
universal and If I brought it back he would find one for me off an older 
Chrysler. I did and of course the guy called back a month later and said he 
had the original and asked if I would like it. I came back and compaired 
them and sure enough man they were identical.
