Dipstick questions

[LanceM]

Anyone have a pic of how the dipstick sits in the 360 block? I'm looking to know what angle it should sit at, the way it looks like it should fit hits my valve cover?

couple of pics

Rebend tube as needed to fit. That is what I did and it works ok.

Ya i already cracked this one tring to bend it to fit, now i'm looking for a pic of how it should sit in the 360 for the next one. And a pic of the bracket that goes from the dipstick tube to valve cover would be great


thanks
