4L80 dipstick
My donor did not have a trans dipstick and i'm looking for info/pics on how the factory trans dipstick looks/mounts on a swap in a 67-72 before I buy one. I'm not against bending it for clearance, but if it mounts in a crap spot i'll buy a flexible one. Thanks

Make your life simple...grab an aftermarket dipstick setup and be done with it...mount it on the firewall....maybe a little expensive but it solves one of your dozens of issues... https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Lokar...unt,67595.html The pic below is of a 6L80e but the dipstick routing is similar...

Re: 4L80 dipstick
Simple is worth the money. Thanks for the input, I was leaning towards a flexible one unless the factory one was a simple bolt in with minimal work involved.

Re: 4L80 dipstick
I've used Lokar trans dip sticks in the past and they have worked well for me. But I hate shelling $100 for one. The stock dip sticks kind of come up and over too much for me. I bought a Tran-Adapt dip stick $27? and then shorten the tube and dip stick so it sticks just above the coil cover. Remarked the dip stick for fill levels.
