ok this is the problem i am having i took an 1989 302 out of a mustang and put it into my 1964 Ranchero i changed the oil pan to a front sump pan and now i am having trouble with my dip stick every one i get doesn't fit when i put it on. partly because of my headers which are headman. they leave very little room for a dip stick. i need to know what i can do about a dip stick so i can get my truck on the road or some links that might help me. thanks Jeremy

did that one the aluminum was too big at the end and it rested on the headers which would burn it up fast
