Oil dipstick tube for CJ7 w/ 5.0L v8

[peterblesi]

Hi all.

I have a 1979 CJ7 with a 304 5.0L v8. The oil dipstick metal tube has come off the engine. I cannot seem to figure how this goes back on, or how to repair it if it's broken.

Can someone tell me how the tube fits on the engine ? And, if possible, how to make it stay in place. Maybe bubble gum ?

Thanks for any help.

The dipstick tube is pressed to fit on the engine block with a special tool. there should be a shoulder on the tube about 2 inces from the bottom. This shoulder is suppose to stop at the block if properly installed. On the upper section of the tube, there should be a bracket that holds the tube to the valve cover retainer.
