Small details make the difference!

I never cared for the original dip stick T-handle with everything else polished Al. I purchsed a Lokar, stainless braded dipstick and billet handle dip stick for a late 80's SBC.

The only problem I realized is all of my header Air tubes are in the way of getting to the ****. (Yes I want to keep my Airtubes for emissions! and no I am not getting rid of them )

So I decided to make a duplicate of the one from Lokar, however, I made it 7" longer and it works like a champ! In fact I polished it up and it looks great.

Just thought I would share one of my small engine details.
