Locking dipstick

bobtile · Apr 16, 2021

Anyone have a recommendation for a nice, easy locking dipstick for a big block 727?
This is always a thorn in my side for some reason.

Doesn’t Mancini racing have some? IDK who there by, but check it out.

I have 2 from Mancini in my 727's, they work quite well & they kept IHRA & NHRA tech inspectors off my back.

I don't know about easy, but I'm using this one from Allstar Performance. I comes up just behind the passenger side valve cover, so it's a bit
of a pain to get to.

A bit of a pain to get to is part of my issue.
There has to be something better.

Got the same on my setup. Good seal at the bottom and the locking lever is secure. No leaks and is a quality piece :thumbsup:

I did what Biff did.... check the level with TF dipstick, race with basically a locking plug from the junkyard.

I bought the locking dip stick for my big block dart from John at CRT

ATI Performance 973081 Transmission Dipstick Tube Lock - Bing
This won't help you check the trans fluid but it's a locking top that will get you to pass tech

I agree with Dartindanno I have the same thing ,( lower left in the picture ) last year my old ATI plug broke and I put the stock dipstick back in for week or so until my new one came and the tech inspector at my home track caught it . I keep the stock dipstick in the trailer so I can check the fluid level.
