Default What dipstick for Kooks?

I have been searching but cant seem to turn any information that Im looking for.

I have a 99 C5 with kooks 1 7/8 longtubes. I imagine the car has a stock dipstick on it. I can get it it, but where does it mount? Are there different styles of dipsticks that might work better?

Either way I need a new one, i broke the **** out of this one today

I used my stock 99 dipstick and tube on my Kooks without issues. Do your headers have the little mount on the passenger side primary for them to bolt to?

Yea thay have that small botl hole it looks like. The dipstick slid right in but in no-way didt it look like it was going to mount.

What way does the dipsick head angel? Forwards or backwards?

You would reuse the stock dipstick.

Street rod after market supplier LOKAR also makes a flexible braided stainless steel engine dipstick for LS1 motors, '97 and later. You might contact them and see if that would work for you...

Just got off the phone with George, thanks man!

I busted the crap out of the tube becuase it didnt want to go in the way I told it too, so I need a new one. But now it makes sense on fitment.

For reference, if anyone needs it: 12562360 is the p/n
