My 351 has a Canton
oil pan on it. The dip stick is housed in a flexible tube with a tab for mounting. Mine is zip tied to the strut that comes down from the cowl to the front suspension upright.
Today I took off the alternator and found a couple of tapped holes in the head which conveniently locates the tube much like the originals. Unfortunately the alternator bracket on my car is much too short such that the alternator has to be rotated inboard.
Below is a picture of my alternator location. Notice how far inboard mine is.
This is CSX2246 notice how far outboard the alternator is. I have checked several CSX cars and they are all set up this way.
Is there a bracket available like the one on the original or does it have to be fabbed. I have checked several CSX cars and they are all set up this way.
