ok this may sound strange,,,,i have a 904 in my street rod,,,it currently uses a lokar flexible dip stick tube assembly,, i may want to go to a factory steel tube and dip stick,,,
any one know what mopar would of used a very long tube,,some thing i can heat maybe ?? and re-shape to fit my 40 dodge,,,,,thanks in advance,,,,
 
What about a b-van tube? (the Dodge van)

They had long tubes that went to the front of the engine compt...
 
Since the vans do not have a vertical firewall like cars, keep in mind you may need to reshape the dipstick tube. I used one from a van years ago on a 35 Ford street rod and had to reshape the tube. I found an electrician friend who had a set of conduit benders and that fixed it right up. Food for thought.
 
It's standard size tubing. Make your own from stock. Just don't drive it in too far.

the 92 up vans have more curve in them

I used this one in a 68 Satellite

I like that it ended near the carb
so didn't have to reach toward the back to check trans fluid level

Yep, it's a long one> 32"

Hey Draginmopar. That looks like one bad ride. What is it? A b body? Thats gotta be a foot or more of setback. Like where you put the alternator. Show us more,the whole car!

Above pic is the Rampage getting its make over
it was a great parts chaser vehicle,
fuel tank started leaking, unibody started failing, at the back of the cab
So, put a real frame under it, added 4 more cylinders > 440

had one set back with the headers
Thought I had found a place that had 180* cross over headers for a Big Block .
But instead they sent them for a Big block Chevy.
They would only give me in-store credit
So, I cut the flanges off, sent the flanges back
Made the pipes fit the mopar flange.
