Kinda weird parts to ask for, but when I bought my R/T it was missing the original dipstick and dipstick tube(been using an 8v tube). So does anyone have what I'm looking for and want to sell me them?

Thanks, but someone other than him because that's out of my price range, and it doesn't have to be new.

I have several x1111 T3 dipsticks. All NOS and in Mopar packaging. I could never use them because the matching tube was unavailable.

I have been using '90 Omni dipstick/tube/pan for my T3 builds.

If you want to go the '90 Omni stick/tube/pan route, just be aware that the tube and stick fits tight behind the T3 ignition coil pack. It does work and is accurate, but the hold down clamp will not work. The T3 tube is simply unavailable unless you were to make one yourself out of 3/8" steel tube.

I would do that, but I just got the motor together and don't feel like changing pans, and pickup tube. I just think it would be nice having the stock T3 tube and dipstick.

I don't have any T3 tubes (hence the problem). They just aren't available unless Marty has some.

If you still have a good T3 tube, then I have a perfect dipstick for you.

With all these Spirit R/T's being parted out I figured someone would have the parts I need used. I mean if I had $200 to spend on both I'd go to Arizona parts.

The T3 tube is especially hard (impossible?) to find. I imagine you could still go to your local Chrysler dealership and get the stick. But it is not going to be accurate without the matching tube and pan.

The '90 Omni tube/stick/pan (a CB non balance shaft pan) is the best thing I've been able to come up with. It works. It isn't perfect, but it works.

I suppose you could notch the stick yourself with whatever pan/tube combination you want to gauge an accurate oil level after you fill it with 5 quarts of oil.

The '90 Omni tube/stick idea would require a bit of welding and a custom bracket to hold down the tube from rattling loose. You could probably piggyback a little bracket of one of the intake bolts to stabilize it.

Nothing seems to be simple, easy or cheap with this car. I guess I'll have to save up for a new pan, pickup etc.
