85 ford f150 dipstick
 

Hi new to the forum. im working on a 85 F150. I cant find the dipstick. It must be broken off. I ordered a repair manual but in the meantime I wanted to see where should it be so i can see what all I need to replace it.
thanks.

What engine do you have ?

Sorry, I thought it was going to show with my profile.
its a 85 Ford F150 4.9L L6 OHV 12V with no mods as of yet ;)

You would normaly find that on the drivers side, near the rear of the engine, behind the distributor.

That's what I thought. I think its broken off. I"ll have to jack it up this week. and see if i can replace it.

you should be able to crawl up under the hood with a good light and see what you are dealing with.
Those 2 & 3 step kitchen step stools work fairly well.

Great! I have one!

The distributor & dipstick are on the LEFT side of the engine (on virtually all Ford RWD engines).

L&R (and all other directions) on vehicles always refer to the operator's perspective, from the driving position.

LOL, thanks Steve, what was I thinking...

How in the hell did you miss that big stick coming out of your block !! lol...
