I need pics please!! I can't seem to find a way to get my dipstick mounted with my longtubes there so its just hanging there and I'm afraid it's just going to fall out. On a side note... does anyone make a different design for our car, the s-bend never made sense to me.
 
I run Mac LT's but the outcome is gonna be the same

You just look at things to see the big picture

Then position the tube to where it clears everything

Then see what is needed to mount the tube securely

With my Mac LT's

I had to bend the OEM tube just a small amount

The mounting tab was 1.5 inches away from the header bolt hole

I went to the hardware store and found a small section of thick
pipe and a bolt of sufficient length to make it all good to go

Basic Hot Rodding 101 .........
Just do what ever it takes to make things happen

Maybe that can give you an idea or two

Mr Wes used a flexible Lokar stick for awhile (I think he changed to a different set of LT's and maybe did not need it anymore - I cant remember). Anyhow, it looked like a nice piece to me. My stick is jacked up so I considered it.
 


I ended up with the Lokar flexible unit from Summit. Pretty snug with jethot coated 1 3/4 MAC headers but it does fit. Has an o-ring to keep the stick in the tube as well so that works out in my favor with crankcase pressure on this old motor.
