		| Engine dipstick problem | 
	 
		| By James - 10/28/2002 7:51:31 AM; IP 213.219.35.122 | 
	 
		'68 390 GT Mustang The dipstick never fitted properly, just located'on' the hole, rather than 'in' the hole. Previous owner had cable-tied it at the top. Dipstick was very bent as well, and was hard getting it in. Noticed a tapping on the dipstick, but too late, and now the end is missing! I reckon it must have been the crank?
  I took the pan off, and found the bit of metal - but now have no dip-stick! (It's now too short!!)
  I'm trying to get a replacement - how should a proper dipstick fit??
  thanks
