Default Need a Dip Stick

I got a little rough and broke the plastic crap on my dip stick and tube, while removing it for a header install. Does anyone local to Orlando have one laying around that you don't need?

Edit: Duhhh! I guess it would help to say it is for a 94 LT1.

Coming from experience (for a friend's car), you will NEVER find this part, nor any engine part, at a junkyard. Almost all the cars at the junkyards around Orlando take the motors out first before putting them out on the lot. I would suggest joining a lot of local F-body associations (sffba.net, rivercityf-bodies.com, etc)

Also, look in the "parts for sale" section of this site. There are tons of engine parts available. Check the LT1 sections as well. You're bound to come up with something.

Thanks guys. I figured that I would end up ordering one from a dealer. I decided to take a stab at it here first. I'm not gonna waste much time trying to track down a used one.

I ordered one from the dealer after a mishap with the Hotchkis STB I used to have. I don't think it was even $20.
