Oil dipstick tube replace?
The "flanged" area of the bottom of the tube is partially broken/rusted away.
Do I have enough flange to not cause any problems? (ie. Oil leakage, etc). The main purpose that I can see for the flange is to keep the tube from being pulled out of the block. Should I replace it or reuse it? (Tube on the bottom of pics) If replace, who sells that exact tube & p/n? Thanks! Rusty Morgan

It's out so I'd replace it, it's a press fit.Performance Years sells the exact replacements for cheap.They go in from the oil pan side.I use a bolt slid into the tube and lightly tap on the head of the bolt.

Thanks,
I finally found the p/n, and you are right, it's cheap insurance!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
