Will a 7.3 oil dipstick tube work on a 6.9
 

Got everything back together and realized I didn't but the dipstick on and lost the block adapter for the dipstick! :-X19 Does anybody have a pic of the passenger side? What do i have to do to get to the dipstick out because it look's like I have to remove the manifold again.

FYI! I changed the passenger side exhaust manifold with a 7.3 exhaust manifold. Now I need to go back and get the oil tube dipstick are they interchangeable?????

you dont have to remove anything. it slips between the manifold and the gasket, clamps onto the valve cover bracket. theres an O ring that goes around the tube. yes, 6.9 and 7.3 are the same. you can get another block adapter for it from ford. not sure if anywhere else might have one. if i find my extra one i can send it out to you.

buddy has one at his shop, just getting it is the problem.

I looked and it want fit between the exhaust, dont even see the spot where it goes in the block!

goes between #3 and #5 cylinders.

It want fit throught it, ill check it out in the morning.

ya, its gotta fit if thats where it goes. ive taken mine out a couple times with no problem.

is there an alternative to the block adapter?

if there is, i havent seen it. im sure someone will chime in soon enough.
