Which direction is this dipstick supposed to go? I can remember where the tab was bolted.
P.S. I bought the Fram before I started reading about the Wix and Rotella T, it will only be on during the break-in period. I'll paint it a different color if you'd like.
The tab on that style dipstick tube should probably bolt to the front of the cylinder head. There are others that bolt to the first exhaust manifold bolt.
My old one mounted on the exhaust manifold flange, the manifold went on first. There may have been a stud at one time, I think I just ran a bolt after it broke. There is a lot of wiggle room at the end of the dip tube, you just have to putz around a little.
