This past weekend I installed pacesetter long tubes and poly motor mounts. Everything is back together and I am waiting on my PCM to come back from the mail order tune. The only problem is I can’t get the oil dipstick tube back in. I pulled it out without even looking where the hole was and now I can’t find it. Any advice or pictures of where the hole is? It has to be close to the AC compressor and passenger motor mount but I can’t spot it from any angle.

I believe its the only open hole right in front of the starter. Just get a light down there and start looking around.

What he said. Right above/infront of starter. I have a pic at home. Let me know if you still need it.

I must have "f"'d with this for a half hour before it finally popped right in. I had to lay across the engine bay, feel around with one finger till I found it, then guided the tube down alongside my finger. Good luck with the braille method.

Sounds like the OP has problems finding the hole, hopefully he hits it on the first try once he finds it.

While you have it out, take that bolt to a hardware store and find the same threaded bolt without the flange on it. With headers, the bolt won't go all the way in. It will secure it from coming out, but it will be loose. FWIW, I still have not replaced the bolt for my dipstick tube and it's been about a year with it that way, but you might as well do it while it's out..

LOL, I just left my bolt out too, been 3yrs at least now. It wiggles around but never pops out so I havent worried about it.

Thanks for the help everyone. I found the hole and the tube slid in with no problems. I ground down the edge on the bolt but there's not much room to thread it in. I might just leave it out like others have done.

sorry to bump an old thread but with LT's how come it won't thread in all the way? I just had this problem and the bolt started stripping out. I backed it out cause I realized one of the header bolts was loose anyway and I gave up too damn hot out for this **** today.
