Bringing this back up. I'm sick of my current 80e dipstick. The bends in it are very sharp and NEVER produce a useable reading on the stick. Is this dipstick only for g body swaps or will this work in an fbody. I came from a t56 so I dont know what the 60e looked like. Don't know if it has as many sharp bends in it or not.

What dipstick-tube are you running?
I'm running a Madman dipstick & tube on my Camaro, Had to bend it a little to clear the Cowl Overhang. Overall.....I'm happy with it.
After I installed the Trans/Dipstick Tube/Made adjustments, I pulled the pan & used a straight edge to check the dipstick reading against the Pan Rail.
The Full/Hot mark is right at the pan rail, I now KNOW I need to fill the trans to 1/4" above the Full/Hot marking on the stick.
Getting accurate readings on longer tubes takes patience.......Let the car sit for at least 2 minutes between adding ATF & Checking the Fluid Level, This allows residual fluid to run down the tube into the pan.

X2 what Cline said! I did this when I used an aftermarket dip stick on my lift!
I made the mark almost even with where it comes out of the case.
Also, make sure your car/truck is level when you check it.
My Nova has a stink bug stance so I either just use the front lifting arms of my lift or just pull the front wheels up on the apron of the garage to level it out.

Did you check your dipstick with a pan off after the installation? You want the Full/Hot mark about .200"-.250" above the pan rail.

That looks like my aftermarket one.
I had to tweak the mounting tab and make a new full mark.
In hindsight, I would have/should have bought it through one of our site sponsors as they always giving us tips and valuable info!
