258 Dipstick

[falconian]

Guys,

I have an 81 with a 258. The retaining spring on the dipstick doesn’t hold it in the tube. I was going to buy one, but can’t seem to find one anywhere. Searched the threads here and see that there’s a long and a short, so guess I need to measure it.
Any idea where to get one?
Thanks
Craig

I got one last year from JW Jeep in Antelope, CA. They were very helpful and quick to ship.

Thanks kgt, I’ll give them a shot. I’m just shocked at how difficult it is to come up with a seemingly simple part.
