Anyone have a good source for finding an oil dipstick for 318?

Correction: Rock Auto does not offer a dip stick. Have to try junkyards.

I have to check my Chrysler parts book, but I think it depends if you have a stamped steel pan or the cast AL pan. Also, the marine stick may be longer than the car one.

Yes indeed, there are two different dipsticks. The stick and tube for the aluminum pan are 2469517 and EM9258M, and the stick and tube for the steel pan are 2946470 and EM9065M. The AL pan was common on twin screws, as the AL pan has dipstick holes on both sides, so that port and starboard could be easily reached from the center on the engine bay. Not sure if you can cross them on Google.
