Dipstick tube

I put some Sanderson headers on the 351W going into my '55 F100, but not sure how to handle the dipstick tube. It goes into the drivers side of the oil pan and was bolted to the stock manifold. Now it just hangs out there in space. Any advice?

Thanks, John

I Have Just Finished Fixing The Same Problem What I Ended Up Doing Is Building A Custom Tube For The Stick A Piece Of 3/8 Staniless Tubeing Worked Great For Me And I Made A Bracket That Ran Over To My Block. Work Out Great And Dosent Look Bad Either. If You Decide To Try This Make Sure You Note Your New Oil Level. Mine Did Change A Little.
