Transmission Dipsticks in '73 & up A-body?

[wjaholic]

What are you guys using for transmission dipsticks for this particular application? I just swapped in my 440/727 setup last weekend. Thanks!

i just di mine 2 days ago and used the stock dip stick, my question for you is what did you use for the oil dip stick, i/m still trying to locate one

I installed that guy a couple of years ago, the engine has been sitting in "storage" until the car was ready. It isn't anything special that I remember. I want to say that it was a stock style chrome mopar performance dipstick. I know I got it from Summitracing when I ordered the starter, flex plate, and gasket kit.

I was thinking about ordering this guyhttp://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=LOK-TD-3727TM for the transmission but I would like to run a stock style if I can find one that is a good quality and inexpensive :toothy3:

I just looked at http://www.bouchillonperformance.com/3300_01TransFillTubes.asp I didn't realize the stock style was so much cheaper than the aftermarket one listed above... hmm.... still I guess its good to see whats out there huh.

1 problem I had with my chrome oil dipstick was that it was too long. I could push it in ok, but while driving it would back itself out about 1 inch. took a cutoff wheel and lopped off about 2 inches. Now it stays right where its supposed to be.
