Hello All,
It's been a long time since I've posted. Out of town working long hours and all leaves me low on personal time. Got a day off today though and thought I would spend some time with the FordSix guys.
To recap a little, I'm putting an 84DA in my '71 Comet. This is the common 84DA though...I ran into a small problem with the dipstick though. The US C4 dipstick is a little different than the Aussie spec and the mounting tab doesn't line up with the bolt hole on the trans housing.
Do you think an Aussie C4 dipstick would interchange? Also, anyone have one they would be willing to ship me? I could send a PayPal gram over to cover the part, shipping and time. I'don't know, do you think I could braze a new mounting tab to the dipstick tube without blowing a hole in it?
