Long tube headers vs. oil dip stick...
Hey guys, I am having a problem with routing my oil dip stick and keeping it secured in my 302. I have OBX-R long tube headers, and when I installed them a year ago I was forced to keep the dipstick loose which was touching the clutch cable. Now I guess I bent it too much and it's leaking from the bottom and you can totally wiggle it 8 inches back and forth with your pinky finger. I ordered a new one, but I have doubts that this will work like it should. Any pictures or suggestions?
Also, do our cars have o-rings for the dip stick or do you just put it in and bolt it down to the headers!?

There is no O-ring. There is just a beveled end that mates to the hole in the block. When the new tube comes in it should have a section that will mount to one of your header bolts. Be careful taking the old tube out. It sounds like it's got a pretty good crack in it. You don't want to snap off a section of the old tube in the block!
