I have a TH 400 from a '69 Bird...I seem to recall hearing that the dipstick and tube were Firebird specific...is true? I also seem to recall hearing that they could be pricey...like $150+...any opinions?

You will find that too many out there are for Chevy setups.
I got one that fit from Performance Years. It is not the same as original as the top of the dipstic is covered with red plastic. But it fit.
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI

Yes, the th400 tube for firbirds is specific to the car. They are hard to find and pricey. We ended up with a $40 stainless flex and it works just fine.

Any idea on value? I can get a picture if that would help. It is from a '69 bird so I know it is not a chevy unit
Does anyone know if all 1st gens use the same dipstick tube for TH400?

I had a hell of time finding one.  Most use the Lokar units. I think I got mine from Fabulous Firebirds in Missouri, but I see their link no longer works.

OK, you don't specify which of the two above is the F-body stick...the silver one looks just like the one's I have looks Which I believe to be correct TH400 F-body dispstick tubes - does this look correct?  If it is a Firebird dipstick tube how much is it worth? Thanks
