Oil Dipstick?

Hello All,

I am putting shorty headers a 84 f150 4x4 302 4speed and I was wondering what to do about mounting the oil dipstick it don't mount on headers like it does on manifolds.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

the little bracket that used to hold it to the bolt on the manifold can be twisted a little bit, and put under a header bolt

Oil Dipstick?

Thanks!,

Did any of you that put shorty's on have any trouble with the y pipe hooking up to the headers I notice that the slave cylinder is real close or will i have to get a exhaust shop to fab up a y pipe to fit?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

stock y pipe works if the headers are for f-series truck. mustang headers require that you go to an exhaust shop and have it fabracated.
