New ones are available. Made of plastic, they don't look original, but work fine. NAPA has them. Probably other places as well.

I believe thats a vacuum resevoir. There will be a vac line that goes from the carb to the vac resevoir. There will be another line that goes from the vac resevoir to the control in the dash. There will be vac line that goes from the water valve to the control in the dash as well.

Don't sweat it. I've got a good (twisted) sense of humor. I guess it comes down to whether the diameter of the tubes are the same. I have no idea. I am assuming that when mopar made magnum crate motors, they used the same oil pan and dipstick kit that they sell seperately. What happens when...

Ok, maybe I'm the dipstick. Forgive me, the kids have been sick, so we're a little tired around here. The one on the motor (from a durango) is tall and I suppose it looks a little out of place. Looking at the photos of magnum crate motors, they seem to have a nice short relatively straight...

What can I replace the stock Durango dipstick tube with? Magnum crate motors seem to have a straighter, shorter dipstick tube. The stock one is pretty tall and maybe I'll run into hood clearance problems with the duster.

I may end up going to a similar setup because I still can't make it work. I went to a stainless fitting that's shorter, but can't thread it in far enough to help. The threads in the manifold are all messed up and I may have to buy a 3/4 npt tap to clean them up. I may also need to go to that...

Nice set up. I don't think it will clear my Bouchillon AC compressor mount, though. However, it gives me something to think about. How did you attach the AN fitting to the hose barb on the pump?

Anybody use the Edelbrock 7577 Magnum Air Gap Intake and the LA style water pump? What bypass hose do you use? The standard LA bypass hose can be forced into place by trimming it down, but ends up somewhat twisted/kinked.

I'll put some duct seal on the pickup and see what it measures.

Ok, I have the bolt welded to the main cap. What should the gap be from the pickup to the pan?

It has the old style snout on it so no extension needed. The cam is P4876348 380hp cam (288/292 and .501/.513).

Good photos. I'll have to look for those fittings. Were they all hardware store items or auto parts items. I think I have the 3/8 flare tool. Have to look. I think that pump is only rated for around 6 psi.

Ok, I bought one (6902). It clears fine, but what should I use for fuel line to the carb? Did you change the clocking of the openings? Is there a barbed fitting that threads in for the line to the tank?

I have been waiting for over a month for a replacement Kevco pan that got beat up by ups. Hopefully in this week. I'm not going the full on computer route like you, but just putting on a carb manifold and changing the front to old style. Best of luck to you. I am enjoying this thread as well.
