Hello List,
As luck would have it, the dipstick and tube to the
727 transmission in my '65 Crown convt. has been "misplaced" by either the
machine shop who rebuilt the engine, the transmission shop who did the
transmission rebuild for the machine shop, or the automotive repair shop who
pullled the engine and transmission for the machine shop. No one is
willing to accept the blame and, you guessed it, has no clue where the darn
things are. I have given up getting any relief from any of the
above. Time to move on.
I located one locally by way of a referral from
another transmission rebuild shop. The guy who has it claims it came from
a 727 torqueflite in a "Chrysler automobile". He got it from a wrecking
yard but doesn't know the year or model. He insists the tube and
dipstick are universal. Is this true???? He only paid $10
for both so I doubt he is going to charge too much for his time
to go to the yard to get them. I just don't want to buy
something that is not correct for my car. Is a Chrysler tube
with the stick the same size/shape/length as the one for the
Imperial? All local transmission shops I've contacted do not have
these items and say they are difficult to find. HELP! The restoshop
owner says he needs these parts soon. Thanks in advance to
whomever can answer my questions.

dipstick)
