That's a superceded part that came out around 1975 with slight differences from the original.
It's applications are the same as the original Dipstick that it replaced,part #3959158,for 1965-66 Passenger w/396 & 427 CID,and 1966-67 Chevelle-Camaro w/396 CID.
When your using the newer dipstick #3981088,you MUST use the proper tube for it,part #3981089,to accomadate the newer length and design or else your gonna have problems.
