Default Dipstick Tubes

After years of making our dipstick tubes for the 4th gen f-bodies we have changed AND expanded our line up.

All our th350 and 400 sticks have been redesigned for added clearance and the use of Ultrabell setups. Plus they are designed to clear the new valvecovers and coils.

We are also offering a new Powerglide set up.

The pricing is $69.99 and they are in stock. You can also buy them thru our authorized installers. http://www.madmanandcoracing.com/installers.htm

The 400 ones were designed for the Ultrabell in the beginning. I have problems with the th350 ones. The dipsticks still end up under the cowl I just added some more bend.

Mine was for a TH400 but I had to weld on about a 2" extension on the mounting tab to make it bolt up, I have an Ultrabell to. Am i really the only one who had to do this or did i get the wrong one to start? I wouldn't mind replacing mine, but would like to see a pic of the old one and new one next to each other if thats possible? If not no biggie.

Cool on this cause I had to bend the crap out of mine to make it clear my new standard SBC style valve covers with my AFR 227's..... The dipstick was way too low. Worked with the stock height covers but no deal on the new ones... I'll probably order a new one once you stock em madman...

Good to see we weren't the only ones with fitment issues...thought it was just us! We had to bend the crap out of the TH400 one to get it to fit.
