Does the lokar dipstick pass nhra tech for a locking dipstick? Has anyone had issues with these blowing out?

 

Mine Lokar passed tech but to be honest i'm not sure if they even looked at it. I now run the Madman dipstick and it is the locking type, and it's way better for filling. The Lokar one was a royal pain in the ***.

We have one to fit your application. Give me a call @ 225-673-3533 to order.

Thanks!

 

get the madman! it's a great piece

 

MAdman. DO you make one for the 4l80e that is easier to read than the Lokar? Plus the lockar gets very hot and its a pain to check once the engine warms up.

 

I run a MADMAN one.

 

I should have put for Most applications, lol since we don't offer dipsticks for stock transmissions. SoRRy!

 

since its a hard line, whats the exact placement of the dipstick when its in place? does it come out just like the stock auto dipstick or what? I have a vic jr intake with a sheet metal elbow and Im concerned it wont work, let me know because ive been looking at your stuff. Thanks

 

it comes up at the back of the passenger side head, below the window cowl. It should work fine with your set-up.

 

Anybody have any pics of there madman dipstick installed?

 

I will get you a pic tomorrow. Basically it mounts onto the bellhousing 2nd bolt up from the bottom. The dipstick angles up right over the passengerside valve cover just a little to the outside. I would bet that it will clear any intake manifold, it's nowhere near the intake. I use a real long funnel to fill it, and it works like a charm. It has the locking style cap that will pass tech inspection. I swapped converters over the weekend and I had it out of the way. I pretty much had the transmission right onto the dowels and I forgot about puttin in the dipstick. I figured I was going to have to lower the transmission down to get it on but it snaked it's way right down the tranny tunnel and into place. Keep in mind I don't have a/c or a heater though so that makes it easy for me.
