They used a 31145 in my car when it was in USA.
BUT, there is always a BUT..., if im not mistaken, my engine block has a right hand dipstick  >:( (Im rushing home from work soon to confirm as i havent paid any attention to it before)
31145 is left hand only, and i cant seem to find any with the same depth for right hand. Cut and weld?

I hope im wrong though..

Right hand DS block uses a one piece rear main seal, older 2-piece seal is a left hand DS block,
 Milodon #31173 rt hand DS w/KO
Milodon #31147 is without KO

gasserx:
It is right hand dipstick and two-piece, just checked.

SBC's 79 & later are right hand DS -  one piece seal is 87 & later.

Dip Sticks ??, Do race cars have Dip Sticks ??
We dump our oil after each event when we get home, cheap insurance. I have talked to a alky burning racer that didn't drain his oil after a race week-end and let sit for a few months [Winter] and was surprised to see rust on his iron heads and block, because of the alky in the oil. Alky attracts water.

Have Fun !
