    Exclamation Proform Oil Pan Dipstick?? What works?

    Hi guys... I recently got a 347 stroker built for my fox. 1990. Gt. the stock dipstick was in the block towards the back. The stock dipstick will not work without some modification the the Proform 7qt oil pan for clearance. The pan came with a threaded bung on the side for a dipstick. Does anyone know what type to get? Or what will work? any help I much appreciated!!

    Summit has a milodon which works great. Its around $80. Worked nicely for me with the small engine.

    Its worth the money. Better than the junk fuel line tube that the others look like.
