So when I yanked my header, I discovered the bottom of my dipstick tube was broken. Definite vacuum leak for sure.

Finding a replacement has not been easy. Everything is Chrome!!

I just want a simple black painted tube. Has anyone seen one?

Damn. $42?

Screw it, I'll buy the chrome ford Racing one. $33 and I have points I can use so it'll be cheaper.
