I bought a rebuilt '68 engine, dropped it into my '68 and am nearly ready to fire it up for the first time. I noticed that the dipstick tube only protrudes out of the block about 3/4". So I bought a dipstick and tube from Ames. The tube is 9 inces long, flared on one end and has slight curve to it. Does this tube work in conjuction with the tube that is already in the block? If so how? Please don't tell me that I have to drop the pan and replace the old tube with theis new one?
