360 Dipstick Tube Issues
Hey y'all, my dipstick tube sprung a leak at the base recently so I went and bought a nice new chrome one to replace it with since I already had to take it off, but I found that neither the one I took off or the one I bought had an o-ring. Is that my problem? '72 F-250 360. Thanks!
.. Jim is right it should be a snug fit with no gasket or O ring.. you can use some jb weld around it to ease you're mind

The chrome reproduction ones are the loose fitting ones . Some are to short or long so you need to check that out before using it. I have one in my 302 i had to cut the top of the tube off to make it read correct . It comes up out of the engine when i check oil now so i need to seal it too .
