can't remove the oil dipstick. Help please
I have a 86 iroc with the 305. just bought the car from a young kid and the dipstick is broke in half. I need to replace it but I cannot get the old one out. I can't see where it goes but I can feel with my fingers and I don't feel a retainer clip or bolt. I hope one of you guys know how to get it out.

are you saying that the broken half of the dipstick is stuck down in the tube?
if so something like this might help.

I use a self tapping screw and install in the broken part. then use vice grips on the tube to make it tight against the bolt(prevents crushing the tube) use another pair of vice grips to lock on the head of the self tapping screw and work both of them in a circular motion to break it loose and most of the time the will come out(use pb blaster or something on the tube)
