Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I forgot to mention the trans dipstick. Here's the cheap thing again, but keeping it cool! I snagged a dipstick from an older Astro van with a 700R4. I had on old dipstick (liked the early style loop on the handle) from a Turbo 350 and decided to use them both. I put the Astro van spout in and marked it where it was just over the valve cover and cut it off. Before cutting I measured the distance of the dipstick itself and how far it stuck out the bottom and how far up FULL was. After I cut it down. I stuck the old Turbo 350 dipstick into the tube, marked it and cut off the extra to make it the correct length. I then measured up to where FULL would be and put a grinder mark there. blasted it all clean, a little black paint and "Ta Da"... New old style dip stick!
