Just installed my 426 hemi into my 69 road runner. Headers fit great, but tight. Instructions say to bend dip stick tube to that on sheet 502. Can't find sheet 502 on TTI site. What have others done? I am trying to get car going today so it will be ready for Nationals next week. If I need to order something I can overnight it for Monday if needed. Just need to know what others have done. Thanks.

I have a 69 Sat with a 528 Hemi and the Schumacher mounts with the TTI 2-1/8 " headers and power steering. At first, I got lucky by rebending a 440 dipstick, but it was kinked and hard to slide the dipstick in, even after I thinned down the stick it self, which finally broke off in the tube a year later. I finally bought the Mancini Racing Hemi/Headers dipstick assembly and after 20 minutes of wrangling(DUH!) it fell right into place! I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it finally just went into place with no modifications at all. If it had not worked, I was going to try the Milodon flexible assembly, but I am very happy with the Mancini setup.
