    700r4 Dipstick Length

    Allstar Performance has a line up of racing dipstick tubes/sticks. They are about the same length as the one I have, it cleans up the engine compartment, but makes it hard to service. The tube bolts to the bell housing bolt, so it should fit most any swap...

    Hi, Sorry I didn't introduce myself, I dove right into a Forum, didn't see this one. Since I have a 75 C30, thought I'd like to be a member. I tried to add a pic as an avatar but so far it hasn't posted. Is there an approval process? Maybe because it's a weekend? Here's my truck, next to my...

    700r4 Dipstick Length

    Using this information, I put the dipstick alongside the tube, used a zip tie to keep it snug at the curve, and lo and behold, the top of the hot area is right at the oil pan rail!! So this IS an accurate reading. I cleaned up the burred end, it would grab lint from a wipe rag. Still don't know...

    700r4 Dipstick Length

    Thanks Wayne, I saw aftermarket versions, not sure where it mounts to. If it mounts to the bell housing bolt then might work. But I solved the problem, see next post.

    700r4 Dipstick Length

    Thanks, Matt!! Your post didn't come up when I last posted, guess I should refresh the page before I type, eh? Yes I knew the tube and dipstick must match, the actual fluid level outside of what any dipstick says is what I needed to know. I need to get a matching set I guess, but would rather...

    I found a post on chevelles.com saying the correct fluid level is the top/flange of the oil pan. That will help..........

    700r4 Dipstick Length

    So I removed the dipstick now that it's cold, it is 22-3/8" long from the flange. The hash mark area is about an inch above that. Seems to me that it barely gets to the top of the case.

    Q-jet suddenly running WAY too rich, choke is open, should I .......

    Take it out for a spin, and get on it. If it feels a little lacking, go back to the Q-jet. We replaced my Q-jet with an Edelbrock Thermo-quad copy, 650CFM. At times I want my Q-jet back.

    700r4 Dipstick Length

    Hi Everyone, I saw the thread by beachsurburan from 2/21/18 concerning this, and 74 Shortbed mentioned he had one tube 25" and one 33". I measured mine and from the top of the tube to where in goes in the case and it's about 21", two more inches inside would be 23". I'm assuming mine is a 25"...
