I have a 1990 Thunderbird SC Auto. My original engine oil dipstick tube broke off. I don't know when but whoever broke it had put some type of grey putty to hold it together I bought a replacement tube from a fellow member on here. The difference is that the tube I bought has 2 stop bumps at the bottom and my original one has only 1. I put the replacement all the way to the bump closest to the top and when I went to check my oil..the dipstick tip is broken off! It sounds stupid but what should I do? I know I need to replace the dipstick. Are all Thunderbird dipsticks the same length? Should I pull the dipstick tube up to the first bump?
Another thing is I noticed is my STOCK engine oil pressure gauge would drop all the way and check gauges would light up. Then it would raise back to normal..and it would do this throughout the drive. I thought it was a "dummy" gauge?
ANY HELP is GREATLY apperciated!

..I DID use the search tool to try and find my answers but no luck. So don't get the idea that I haven't done my research on this
