my dipstick tube is all cracked and is leaking. ive tried some different stores but they dont have any dipsticks except for ones that dont fit. I do not know the exact year of the motor( it was put in a 1988 4 cyl) but now has a 302. what years have the dipstick more in the rear of the engine i heard that erlier models 302s had it in the front by the timing chain. mine is in the rear sorry if im not describing this very well any idea what year i should ask for beacuse ford wont even look the part up if i dont know the exact year

 

87-95 302 is what you need

 

mine is in the back and it is a 93, just like adder said

 

ok thanks that gives me a year range ill try to go to a junk yard and find one or i might go to a ford dealer ship and tell them one of those years the onei went to today didnt seem fond of people switching engines and wouldnt try to look up dipsticks they said you HAVE to know the year I thinkthats just for there computer system though

 

sounds like your looking at the trans dipstick, do you have an auto trans?

 

nope its a manual
