Once you get the routing down, the easiest way to get the dipstick tube in is to take a 10mm wrench, a 3ft long piece of metal rod and a friend with a hammer.

Line the dipstick up in the hole, put the 10mm wrench on the top side of the little bevel in the dipstick tube. Put the metal rod on the wrench and hold onto it while your friend hits the other end of the rod from the top of the engine bay.

I had to do some slight bending to mine, but got it in no problem. I can take a pic or two tomorrow if it would help.

I had to bend mine as well with my Canton pan. What pan are you using?

I had to bend it a little and also grind the the mounting bracket so it would fit the bolt. I would get pics but my brother borrowed my car for the week.

Sorry, I completely forgot about this. But I just went out and snapped a few pics. Hopefully they will help. Good thing I took these though because I noticed my drivers side motor mount was loose.

I have BBK equal length shorties, but like everyone else has said, you need to bend the ***** out of it to get it to work. I couldn't get it to bolt back up using a header bolt, but I did get a big band clamp and just clamp it to one one of the headers.

Looks good - does it fit into the block fairly tight?
