Need new oil dipstick tube that works with Dyno Don Headers.

What the title says. Need a new oil dipstick and tube for my '84 camaro with Dyno Don headers. Angled plug heads, if that makes any difference. Nothing wrong with original except that it's crap at telling you the actual oil level past the first use and it'd be hard to modify it to work with headers.

I use that same dipstick. I opted for the "locking" feature too. Its awesome, no leaks, and the dipstick and housing is flexible. After a year or so in use, the flexibility improved and it has a "memory" which is even better. I also got the locking flexible transmission dipstick too, it is equally awesome.

I'll probably save the trans dipstick for when the 700R4 inevitably explodes.
