header tank position query

[lardy]

just picked up new header & pipe kit from dax to replace existing which didn't work (air lock in top hose)aiming to locate it on inner passenger wing as close to bulk head as poss. only prob is the dip stick is in the way any solutions ? (350 chevy installed)looked on previous posts but couldn't see any mention,probably a simple explanation & I'm just being thick

thanks

I have a dax header tank fitted there, there is a little clearence in mine, perhaps 10mm, but it does fit unless dax have changed it in the last 6 months. try seeing if the dipstick tube is bent outward at all,

have fun

steve, tube not bent but wondering if I can reset it more upright to give clearance.not sure how to do it or whats involved but that would certainly do it, perhaps someone on the forum might know
cheers

Hi Lardy.
Just bend the dipstick up a bit until it clears.

the tube should be kinked to make it nearly upright anyway. check its fully seated in the block, or just bend it up a bit
