I'm having an issue with my dipstick tube on my 61 F100. No matter how I fit the tube in it rests against the header pipe and does not line up to where it should bolt to the block. I should add that the previous owner pulled the tube out, so thats why I'm trying to put it back in and I'm not convinced its the right tube. I don't like it up against the header but thats the only way it works. Anyone tried those flexible tubes from Lokar? Cant find one specific to the 292. Just looking for other options.
