I just put some hooker shortie headers on my 86 Z28. I put the dipstick back in but of course the tab the bolt usually goes thru is a couple inches away from the header. What's the best way to hook the dipstick back up with these (or any) headers ? Does anyone make a dipstick for this application that will just bolt on ?

Thanks for any info....

 

I just left mine loose. You could get a spacer the same length as the thickness of the manifold and bolt it up that way, but it hasn't given me any trouble.

 

I used "plumber's tape" to make a little band around the dipstick, then bolted it to the valve cover.

 

jim86 which hooker headers did u get. Did u get the 2055s with the high flow Y Pipe. If u did what kinda power difference did u notice. What about sound. I am going to be ordering some soon. Thanks

 

I got the 2055's along with a Catco converter. I haven't got it back on the road yet but i will soon. I will post my impressions of this setup shortly after.
