1969 Charger 440 4-Speed--Engine Oil Dipstick Tube Assembly

[Chatt69chgr1]

Could someone post a picture of the engine oil dipstick tube installed on a 440V8 on a 68 or 69 Charger. I started with a bare block I bought from a person so have never actually seen how the dipstick installs. From what I've read, 69 and down had the dipstick assembly running outside of the exhaust manifold. I bought a new dipstick assembly several years ago from some place--don't know where. It is bare steel and from playing around with it laid next to the block it appears that the welded on mtg clip would attach to a bolt which would be part of the the drivers side engine mount A picture would confirm this. The actual length of the tube itself from where the dipstick is inserted to where it is inserted into the block would be nice to know but a good photo would be what I would like to have the most.

Well I don't have a picture....but it slips into the small hole on the driver side of the block, just above the pan rail surface approximately under cylinder #3, and the dipstick bracket bolts up with the engine mount. You may have to do a little bend n' tweak to get it to sit right; no big deal.

OK. Thanks for the reply.
