Yup.. you got IT . You insert the tube into the wrench and slid the wrench
down till it hits the expanded seat/seal. You then use your weapon of choice
to TAP.. read TAP the WRENCH to seat the filler tub
I'm confusied, how do you seat the tube to the block? Lightly tapping on the
wrench?

Small blocks do not have the same little bracket extending off them to bolt it to the manifold that the big blocks have. The only way to do it is to enlarge the hole a bit. I have the same problem with the one in the 350 that is in my 86 Cutlass. I just never pay any mind to it.

the tube for my 454 is in the oil pan on passenger side. I got a

bolts.

On the '69+ BBC oil pan, where is the dipstick located? I have an oil
pan that is supposed to be for a '69, and it fits fine, but the dipstick
tube opening is entirely on
