so i am going to change my headers and want to know what you all do if the dipstick doesn't mount back to the original spot.

Right now my dipstick is just free hanging on the side cause it wouldn't fit with the BBK. i'm putting on ford racing ones soon.

thanks

When I installed my headers I mounted it in the stock location, but I had to grind down the mounting tab to fit.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I just had to pull mine out and slide it back in between the primaries. I have BBK shorties.
