really stupi question - brush bandit 200 2.3L dipstick location?

[lfaustini]

Hello,

I just got a hold of a used Brush Bandit 200 with a
2.3L ford engine (The Pinto engine) - and I cant find the
dip-stick for the life of me! I have re-bult about 20
engines in my lifetime, and I am feeling like a total fool
here. - This stuff is not new to me - but I am failing
at the basics here!

So, did the previous owner remove the dip stick
(like with a tree branch or something - and then
seal the hole shut?) or is there some oddball filler
procedure where you have to remove a fill plug
and fill 'er up until oil comes out?) (like the new,
stupid Ford "sealed" automatic transmissions?)

Thanks,

---Lou

Prolly hid it so you cannot find all the water in the oil.

Look for the tube near the distributor. Good luck.

Had a Pontiac Sunfire. Looked all over for a dipstick, no luck. Took off the filler cap and there it was attached to the filler cap. Just an idea.

If it was the Pinto engine, you never had to worry about checking the oil. They just blew up before they hit 3000 miles!

Sorry....Just what you need is a comedian on Mon. morning while trying to get your equipment going...really....sorry!

Good luck.
