by veefre Thu Jan 28, 2010 11:45 pmOn my '67 108 van, the dipstick tube is not secured to the V8 283 motor. It can swivel and even be pulled out.
About halfway up the dipstick tube is a metal bracket welded to it, but it doesn't seem to match up with anything on the motor (and it actually can't be adjusted to touch the motor case anyway).
I am wondering if perhaps there is another missing bracket that would have mated with the dipstick tube bracket. I can probably fab up something that will do the job, but I am wondering if anyone out here has a V8 equipped 67 or 68 van, and if they could photograph or describe the way the dipstick tube is secured to the motor case.
Thanks!
