I just plugged the hole and ran without one. I changed the oil often enough to not need one. Maybe you'll have better luck making the Milodon fit on yours.

GM truck and cut it to length on my 64...It was also more flexible than the stock one I took out.. Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

I ran a Locar trans flex one (cant fit anything else and thats tight)... engine dip stick they(Locar) still make a flex one if it has to snake through stuff

I fought getting the braided tube ran around the headers and then couldn't get the dipstick to go in the tube. Just my experience, yours may vary.

I use the Lokar flexible dip stick which is NHRA accepted and I think would be best for your application.

I went to charge the Moroso accumulator only to have it hemorage fron BOTH sides.Will order a rebuild kit tomorrow,anybody ever rebuild the 3 qt one?? 7297354-CPGarage7.16.12018.jpg (169 downloads) HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
