RE:Okay.... dip stick tube removal?
By Mike McQuesten - 04/25/2002 11:59:05 AM; IP 206.193.0.120
Bob's right, gotta get those econo-boxes off this sick mind and get back to work on removing that dip stick tube from an original '60 352.

Any suggestions on how to remove a factory installed dip stick tube without doing any damage. It's such a mundane thing but I want this little detail to be right. I've removed them by wiggling & jiggling & generally they end up tweeked. I've got two that are perfect originals. I've soaked them with PB blaster. The engines are still in the parts cars and that's where they're staying for safe keeping/storage. I've removed the fuel pumps, oil filter adaptors. No accessories in the way. Now I have to get one of them out, cleaned, painted & installed in my "352" HP.

Now if it was an Escort.........hand me them Vice Grips!
