I HAVE BEEN TOYING WITH A 1980 EL CAMINO SS(350 ci & th350). When I bought it after bringing it home I noticed the Transmission dipstick was broken off some where at the lower 3-4 inches. I need to get another one. napa lists 2 or 3 different lengths. 24 , 27 and thirty something inches. I also found a chrome "Mr. Gasket" version at Auto zone, with the tube too. And it measured 24 inches.
Is there any El Camino owner that has a small block Chevy with a TH350 transmission , who either knows which length TRANS dipstick I need . Or a real COOL Elcy owner who would take one minuite out to measure his own dipstick( no jokes please). This seems to be a simple problem but I can't find out a definate answer locally.
So send me a reply and help a Elcy owner. "NOW THAT IS THINKING WITH YOU DIPSTICK.......JIMMIE"
 
If you need dip "stick" only go to your local GM dealer and give them this part # 15531900, correct for 1980 chevy A body with th350, should run $8.27, still available.
 
Dude, I believe a 1980 El Camino is an A-body...
Technically any of our "G-bodies" weren't actually "G-bodies" until 1982.
It's just an abstract body designation, don't worry about it. Tell them you have a 1980 El Camino, they only made one kind of El Camino in 1980 (as far as I know), whether you want to call it an A-body or a G-body
(Thank GOD they didn't make a FWD version of that too!)
