Re: Dipstick once and for all solution.

["Thomas R. Elliott Jr." <T_R_E_Jr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

---John, last I checked, they didn't have a dipstick for the 304 w/headers.
That* is primarily why I had to search for one on a donor motor. I didn't*
want flexible tubing that fits any application. Now if I needed a stock
dipstick tube and dipstick, yeah, I would have went that route.

---Thank you,
