help with oil dipstick on 97 cobra

rubberdown · October 18th, 2007, 11:32 PM

Hi everyone,
I purchased a 1997 cobra that is a bit of a project. I got everything back together only to find there is no dipstick on this car. I got the dipstick and dipstick tube... and I found the hole on the driverside of the block... but how the hell do I route that sucker down there. Any help, pictures detailing routing, etc etc would be greatly appreciated! I pretty much am lacking this to get the car going, so Im getting desperate. Thanks!

IIRC you have to take that exhaust manifold loose to get that dipstick installed without breaking it. you might want to find you a flexible dipstick and tube online for your car.
