Hughes B/RB Transmission Dipstick review

[Snook]

This is on a 1963 Savoy with stock engine placement. Installed the Hughes B/RB locking trans dipstick (part number HP1235A) to replace the OEM unit - it was leaking and was interfering with the fenderwell headers, a common malady and I'm tired of replacing crappy o-rings. The Hughes unit is a quality piece with a full sleeve rubber sealing grommet. First slip the grommet in the trans housing and then insert the tube and bolt to the trans/engine bell. Perfect fit and tucks the dipstick against the rear of the block, a much improved design, BIG thumbs up from me. See attached pics.

Nice. Did it read the same at the full line as the old stick?

Haven't filled the trans yet, I'll let you know.

No problem with level indication.
