Thanks for the info. That’s what I thought but it’s amazing bad ones could come from more than one supplier (and the materials look different… not from the same factory). Does it make sense that the hole going thru the 3AN fittings can be different diameters between 3/8” 7/16” 9/16” and 1/2” on...

Yeah maybe but the confusion for me is 3AN is supposed to be 3/8x24. No metric as far as I know.

I installed a Summit Racing front disc brake kit on my 1967 Charger. I decided to use InLine Tube flex lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block. Both ends of the flex lines use 3AN fittings. The master cylinder uses one 9/16x18 and the other uses 1/2”x20. The distribution block...

Thanks for checking. Mine does not have any part numbers on the tube or on the stick.

Any idea how to check the vent? Is it just a matter of removing the shield and looking for crud in the vent hole? The trans was totally rebuilt years ago by a professional shop and was just recently installed in the car, but who knows if they did a good job cleaning everything. I have the...

Thanks guys. I guess I’ll stick with my locking dip stick and replace the trans seals.

Hummmm. I was actually hoping the Hughs tube was wrong to help explain my leaking problem.

Hummmm. I was actually hoping the Hughs tube was wrong to help explain my leaking problem. My Hughs part and the original. Tube is bent differently and different length so there is no direct comparison.

The car originally was a 383 and the 727 transmission, and tube, are original as far as I know. The original tube is a bolt on. I bought the car in 1987 and it sure looked like original rust, grease and filth. Numbers on the rail are H2801543 3306790. I measured the Hughs dipstick full mark from...

So because of the famous leaking dipstick tube problem I bought a Hughes locking dipstick #HP1235A for my 727 in a 1967 Charger. The car has a 1974 440 engine installed. After everything was up and running the transmission was leaking, a lot, around the tailshaft seal, the shift selector seal...

Thanks

Thanks

Super information! I bought the bushings already. Did you have high idle issues resulting from the vacuum leak?

I think removing the carbs may be my next step. I just ordered some new gaskets. I’m assuming they are stock thickness. The ad Didn’t say otherwise. I’m still wondering about the small leak around the throttle shaft. Worn bushings?? Thanks.

Thanks. Makes sense.
