headers/dipstick

So I was putting on my new headers and the dipstick needed moving, but its the screw in type.. so i started to unscrew it, but the tube refused to stay still while i unscrewed and it ended up getting bent.. so I just said screw and broke it off, because it won't cost that much to get a new one anyway...

So i went on jeff's bronco graveyard and the only one i'm seeing on there has a 'press in' fitting, and mine is a 'screw on' SOO i'm not sure if it will work in its place or not, I'm not sure what part I need.. so any help would be appreciated.


thanks

if you have the modified engine you can still get the dipstick and tube from a ford dealer. i just got one for mine, cant remember the price.

Hey, thanks for the info, but I found it on the broncograveyard. I got an aftermarket one that screws in.

I feel like an idiot, I broke my dipstick the last time i put headers on my other truck, haha.. me and dipsticks just don't get along.
