It would have been nice to have had this thread before I started my install.

In fairness to Vintage Air I must mention that all of my problems stemmed from the fact that my firewall hump had been enlarged a bit by some PO to make room for an HEI distributor. I also have an ABS firewall cover with thick insulation and that added to the problem. It would be an easy install in a perfectly stock cab.
Sorry about the lateness. I just found this thread. I've been living over in "Engine and Drivetrain" doing a DIY on my 700R4.

That's a great revelation on the sight glass. Didn't think about that. Maybe I can put in a peephole with a rubber plug in it!

All I have done is the rough-in, but I plan to plug the rest of the hole with Great Stuff (might be tough to get out) or maybe that dum-dum that electricians use.
