Toronado dipstick tube
Toronado dipstick tube
My dipstick tube broke off. I found another tube that was supposed to be a Toronado tube but it is only 20 inches long and mine is 20 1/2 can anyone tell me what different length the oldsmobile tubes came in?

- Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011. - Location: Gig Harbor, WA
Re: Toronado dipstick tube
Your question prompted me to go out and measure mine since I used a Mondello chrome replacement. I found they were both about 12" from the top of the dipstick to the point where it enters the motor which is the real reference point that matters from the perspective of measuring oil level.
Thus I can safely say that the Mondello part will work (scroll down page to find it):

I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good!
