i am
i'm not sure if that pic is the exact one i have but i am using the Lokar dipstick and tube
you need the one for post 1981 SBC where the dipstick is on the passenger side of the motor
cant remember the part# off hand
EDIT; its kind of a pain in the ***, i had to install the bracket on the 2nd to last header bolt (front bolt #8 primary) and to get the stick back in i have to twist it while inserting, otherwise it only goes in about 5-6 inches

Install was a breeze. Slid RIGHT in and bolted it up to the header bolt. Only downside is like Bud said you have to let the car cool for a bit or have a rag handy because it gets rather warmish.

Looks great.... gets hot !!! Like the others said, keep a rag or something in the car for when you want to check your oil. Other than that, there should be no issues
