I ordered the standard dipstick tube from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sp...ake/oldsmobile
I installed it and its too small. What dipstick tube and dipstick should i buy that will fit?

1969 Cutlass 5.7 350

All help is greatly appreciated.

 

What do you mean by 'too small'?
Does it not fit tight into the block? I have one from Summit, Mr. Gasket for my 455 Olds, and it's too loose when installed. The whole tube comes out when I try to remove the indicator. I'd like to stick with a chrome one, but if they all have fitment issues, I'll have to go back to stock.

 

A quick way to make it fit if it is the correct one is to smoosh it a bit with some vice grips under the seat collar where it mates to the block that was since it is out of round it will fit tighter (you will have to hammer it in with a block of wood and a hammer). I had to do this to mine on the new engine. I had previously ran it on an other engine and it fit fine.

 

Midrange,

Where did you find your stock dip stick tube?
