where is my dip stick?

I just got a 88 lx 5.0 and one of the previous owners put on a set of headers on it and i think that they are in the way of the dip stick.

Look on the driver's side of your car,there should be a long,skinny tube sticking through the exhaust tubes of the headers.

If I was able to,I'd take a picture of what my dipstick tube looks like.

it should still be right where the old one was..the hole in the block for it is on the driver side middle of the block about 1-2" above the oil pan
