Trans dipstick problems / edelbrock headers

Getting everything put back after rebuilding my engine and can't get the transmission dipstick tube back in.. (added headers also) hits on the headers (edelbrock) Does anyone make a flexable dipstick tube? I've tried bending this one and got it really close but its just not going to work..

all the trans dip sticks i've ever used went more toeards the rear part of the engine and not near the headers. bend it to fit. there is a flex dip stick i see advertised in the hot rod mags but can't think of the name of it or who makes it.

Lokar makes the flexible dipsticks. I have Edelbrock headers and the dipstick tube will fit. Just be patient and bend stuff.
