I have an old pan of unknown manufacturer now and it rubs. My car has the original k-member and doesn't use motor plates. If not the Milodon, anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks! Joey

If your planning on a new pan call Charlies Oil Pans for a custom pan. [IMG]http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq21/ajcasini/max_zpsdppwd9km.jpg[/IMG]

Bob, The pan I currently have is supposed to be for a 65, it doesn't rub hard but it does come into contact and that makes me nervous, I will take your suggestion and call Charlie's, at least I know it will be right for my car and not a mass produced piece.
