What brand are you guys using ??
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

The BB part number is : 69121
If that's what you have and it doesn't fit right..... Perhaps it's a SB part that's packaged wrong.

I've used both the Lokar and one from Mancini. Like the mancini one best. Sat a little higher and was able to get it out w/o burning my knuckles.
Ok
