    i bought an aftermarket spectre dip stick today for 10 bucks, 260-351w

    but when i got home i didnt even think to check if it was for a front sump or rear sump block and i didnt see anything on the package that would clue me in

    any ideas? lemme get a pic in the mean time

    If it fit's 260 and 289 it has to be a front slump stick

    true, but the thought poped into my head it was probably a swap/dress up part for fox bodies or something. ok, on it goes then :)
