Hi guys,
I want to replace the dipstick on my 455 engine, since it does not fit properly anymore. I bought it this way and it really bothers me.
On Ebay, I see lots of dispticks for sale for a 455 engine, but they are all for Olds or Pontiac.
Can I bid on one of these and will it fit right then?
Since these 455 engines do have some differences, I wonder if it would fit on my block.
Thanks in advance!
Eelco

Dipsticks are stamped with part numbers - get the vendor to verify the part is correct for your '70 455 before you bid on it.
Does someone have the correct '70 455 part number ?

Part # 1230489 When you state:I want to replace the dipstick on my 455 engine, since it does not fit properly anymore. I bought it this way and it really bothers me. What do you mean by fit properly??? Loose??? You can take a wide flat blade screwdriver and bend out the tangs or are they missing?

Thnx, will send him a mail.
It does not fit properly anymore saying that it sits just loose ans moves around when the engine is running. Somehow little metal thingy is gone that provides a snug fit.

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art. |
