Banks E4OD Dipstick Tube Install trouble on 1993 F250 7.3 IDI

[OkieDieselMan]

Having trouble with getting the Banks E4OD Dipstick Tube to fit with my 7.3 IDI in my 1993 F250HD.....Can't see how in the world it should be bent to install it.....Anyone ever done this before?...Any photos or suggestions on specifically "where" and "how much" to bend it, so I don't ruin it by bending it in the wrong direction?? I've tried a number of times to get it partially installed and then go from there, but it seems so far off that I can't even tell how to get started in modifying it. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know that I've ever seen one, but I've looked at some online pictures including on the Banks site. I didn't see any mention of bending it any farther than it already is. If I had to guess, it looks like it either goes to the inside or the outside of the down pipe. It looks like it wraps around it. It's supposed to come with a bolt to help the mounting. The Factory Turbo trucks with a E4OD had theirs mount to a bolt along the lower side of the passenger's side valve cover. That may or may not help you, but I thought that I'd throw it out there just in case.
