Not ideal for engine parts

It's good but maybe a little heavier, the bracket is too thin but that's ok, the gasket is hard to hit but I found a trick, install it the rubber grommet halfway then insert the hose and press firmly it's a tight seal so some force is required but you don't want leaks and I haven't had any, overall pretty good.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • ---

Okay, but some tweaks are required to make it usable.

Quality is ok, I have an 81 c10 with lots of space under the hood and I had to bend the pipe to fit and it sits very close to my valve cover. I have previously purchased a Specter inflation hose "that has leaked" but it has fitted perfectly. But that dipstick tube stopped my leak so I'm giving it a 4.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Empty

Good quality; needs a little modification.

Good quality probe and tube. I had the same problem as others where the bracket didn't line up with the mounting hole on the gearbox. I used a long bolt to bend the bracket into position while making sure the tube was in the right place. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I will say nothing

Not a good fit: Replacement parts

Not the best fit or overall quality. The application is an SBC 400 with a TH350. Misaligned, ended up not aligning with the same hole in the block that the factory dipstick went in, there is a kink in the tube where it bends through the mounting tab, and the mounting tab had to be adjusted and slid into place, like that that I could secure it in place. Overall I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with this combo.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Appearance

Far from a perfect fit

I used this to replace a broken capless dipstick from the 1970's on a Chevy pickup. All I needed was the probe itself, but I couldn't find one the right length so I bought it as a kit. However, the mounting tab is designed to attach to another flare bolt on my 350 V-8 that is higher up and very close to the firewall. Even after bending the tab, I still couldn't align the bracket hole with the bell body hole. I finally gave in and attached the pipe to the 3/8-16 bolt hole on the back of the…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
