Is there room to put one of these on My 68 GTX B Body?? Buddy tried to put one on his 67 plymouth B body and said there is no room and it broke off. It sure seems to be a needlessly long bottom part for no reason and way up and out from tranny no good reason?? any help and thoughts would be appreciated. http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/lok-1211444Says firewall mount Plymouth Dodge Chrysler but thats it?? I didnt use the stanchion on my 518 BUT they didnt make a locking one from Locar that would work right... I cut the locking end off the one that locks(like that stanchion one) and cut mine and welded it on... you cant even see it was done.. I'll get a pic tomorrow of it

I had to massage the tunnel of my pickup to get clearance for mine with a small block 727. I would imagine a B body is even tighter than a truck.

I have the shield on there also... its tight but I made the tunnel to just clear.. the bends were tight enough that I had to cut 1/2 of the end of the stick (just below the full mark a 1/4")so the stick could make the turns.... I'll get a pic tomorrow EDIT Mine is a cable going down... I assume is also

Yes cable don't know why that piece has to be 6 inches instead of like 2" @##@%^
The housing on mine goes right into the trans housing then up and over the shield and just on the front side of the mid plate then mounts to the firewall... I dont use that tall part at the trans EDIT I even spun up a adapter to plug in the to the locking part just so it is easier to fill.. hooks up to the hose on my funnel

Go to Mastaperformance.com He may have or be able to make something work.. Mopar guy forever, That is all he does is build dipsticks. I have them on my car.. Not sure if I have a pic of the trans one but if you look close engine one is here. Kevin
