My dilema is the shape! The MP ones were straight. I got two to get it shaped to sway the spool mount, but both got broken at the edge where gets into the block. Mostly sure both needed a bigger curve for more room around the mount. And all aftermarket pieces around are the same than the MP...

I have to search for the same on my 74 after reassembly my car. My fusebox began to meltdown due that same overheating fuse. I was getting at the same time a dimming dome light and unnoperative brake lights

What you read!

Now you mention the flexible dipstick tube… I’ll be needing a correct 73 and laters BB tube! They are made of unobtanium!! The two MP pieces I have got and shaped to sway the spool mounts ended breaking just right at the neck where enters into the block. And all aftermarket pieces I have seen...

I thought on that BUT, depending on the pan shape it could not go deeper enough before meet with the front section of the pan itself… or move the pickup end to rear… Dunno if you get what I mean

would need a longer pickup oil tube too… well. Not just longer but matching the bottom of the sump.

J2A circuit becomes brown wire on factory electronic reg setup since 70. I guess to save from confusion with the wire running to the alt field along the same harness, on same blue, just diff gauge. (Just for reference to the rest of members if they check their own installation on later models...

Is the Kevco piece based on the 971?

I think they were reselling same old 440source oil pan. I also went to check there and notice they are “out of stock”. I guess because 440source replaced that one for a new piece now thicker.

But is engine related too. I meant ask there about the REAL need for a 6 quarts pan for a street car still being stroked.

Sure!! 71 B bodies didn’t get hideaways… I really meant Chargers (with hideaways) of course

Just an option on 71 for B bodies.

If block remains untouched and oil pump too, I can’t see a reason why will suck more oil. Oil can’t go to nowhere. A stroker will suck more air and fuel, but… oil? You are not touching anything of the oil system, just a bit more into the cylinder walls (due the longer stroke) throught the oil...

I don’t think a stroker would require more oil except if you are going to race or you are heavily modifying the block enlarging oil passages and stuff like that. But if the engine keeps the same size and you are just getting a larger stroke, IMHO stock oil pan should be quite enough. Not an...

I wonder how much time last longed the originals back in the days ???
