If you sand or file a little material off of the end of the tube that goes into the pan, it slides in like a champ.

 

where is the dip stick supposed to go? between of the exhaust manafolds/headers and the block? cause i forgot... and mine is on the outside...

 

yes between the back 2 header primaries..

 

no wonder it doesnt reach the block, where it is supposed to be bolted up

 

look from under the car and you'll see a flat spot with small 1/4 inch I think hole in it for the dipstick to bolt to..

 

ohh i know where it is supposed to bolt, but its about 6 inches away from the closest the dipstic will go...

 

hmm well if its between the correct 2 primaries you shouldnt have a problem.. i'll go take a pic of mine to show you..

 

Here is the pictures showing where it goes..

yea mine is laying against the shock tower... (no bolt to block)

but it drives like that and doesnt leak...

when i switch headers (dont really like my eddlebrocks and want something coated) i'll hook it up right

 

ok so it was my post to begin with and now my car is shaking when i take off...do u think it coulod be realated from the dipstick where there is too much oil spilling out and it doesnt have enough oil???? or do u think its the spark plug wires touching the headers..i burned #5 and # 8(but fixed them with eletrical tape)....but im not sure...it feels like a shaing when i start to acclerate...once im cruising on the freeway it was ok...but just the accrealation....anyone have any ideas..its my daily driver and i need to fix her...

 

The ol electrical tape fix! I did that on mine to get back from cali... It only works so long I would say you should replace the wires and I bet your shaking goes away get a good set of accels or what ever everyone recommends.. I myself like the msd super conductors and have never had a problem with them but everyone else around here trash talks them so?!?! take your pick.. I also hear the Taylors are great as well... Use some zip ties to hold the wires out of the way or just buy an over the valve cover kit. Good Luck and newbie and I are sorry for high-jacking your thread

 

no worries on the hijacked thread....so i got a set of MSD 8.5 Super Conducttors...but i cant get the broken piece of the dipstck out of the block....there is a littl piece sticking out and it wont budge...i took the starter off adn was pulling on it tonight like a mother****er.and nothing didnt budge,....any suggestions???

 

hmmmm maybe try crushing it with vice grips and twisting it out like you would open a can of sardines. or shove a paper towel in there and drill a hole in the side of it so you can get a screwdriver in there to twist it out. or if you can get a flat screwdriver on the lip of the dipstick where it seats on the block maybe you could get a hammer on the screwdriver and pound it out. I really think drilling the hole and twisting it will loosen it up. One other thing I just thought of try hitting the dipstick on the side of it with a rubber mallet maybe that will loosen it up a bit.. hope that helps

 

wow this is really brutal... yea i am known for thread jacking sorry... had a question of meduim relevance...

but umm... I also have had wire problems, and yes the elctrical tape only works so well... i donno about burnt wires but wires messed up by the pulleys... yea i have the taylors OVK, but i really ought to get something better cause i didnt make those wires very well... they dont get as much power to the cylinders as my old spark plugs did (the ones w/ elctrical tape)

so yea i donno about your dipstic, but if there is 5 quarts of oil, you should be fine, if u scortched your wires thats what is causing the stumble

 

the problem is if i put oil in it just spits it right out..when i driuve it...i started it to drive it up onn to ramps to work on it and in those 15 seconds of being on i leaked at least a whole bottle of oil..no joke...so i am not driving it and ???but i will give a try to those methods above and ill let u guys know how it works out...
