I was in a pinch ( need to get the car running ),,,and picked up a locking dipstick at the local speed shop... brand is ALLSTAR ?? No luck,,,fit is terrible,,,does not line up at all with the bellhousing OMG.....whoever welded the mounting tab on this stick needs some new glasses..... I usually use CRT,,,but needed something in a hurry,,, What other brands do you guys like ?? Will call John @ CRT after the holiday's,,,arrrgghhhh Last edited by 69CHARGERMD; 09/02/17 06:57 PM.

BB and SB mounting tabs are different...are you sure the tube is for your block? The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

BB came up along the rear of the block below the exhaust manifolds I have kept all of the old ones I can get Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
