need 390 dipstick and tube

Post by Ron_Hall »

Hi guys, I'll looking for a dipstick and tube for front sump 390 fe motor. Can't seem to find one anywhere. Also, does any know the length of the stock tube and dipstick?

Thanks
Ron

When I replaced the engine in mine the tube got mangled, so I made one out of brake line. It has been holding up well for several years now. For the stick you may be able to get a universal, then put 5 quarts of oil in the engine and make a mark on it to indicate full.
