Default TH400 People Come in

What are you guys using for dip sticks? Ive mostly seen in my searches Madman hard tube or Lokar. Also what length Lokar? Ive seen people say 36 inch is to short...I seen someone else post up to use a 44 inch. Also pics of where you mounted it would be great also if ya used the Lokar.

I used the 36" Lokar stick when I swapped in the TH350, it's plenty long enough.

Mine is mounted where the PCM used to be

If I recalled I used an dipstick from B&M for my Th400.

it depends on what kind of body/engine combo, as to what will fit-when i had my 6.0 and turbo 400 in the chevelle, i used an ATI locking dipstick, with the 4l80e, i moded a truck setup-diff mounts place the engine in diff places
the Lokar is flex. and can mount anywhere

36" Lokar here too and I like it. I mounted mine under the weatherstripping on the cowl just to the right of where the PCM goes. It went perfect there.
