Small block 727 trans dipstick tube

Seeking a dipstick tube for a small block 727. Thanks!

Got my new lift!

After doing research I took the plunge and bought this Bendpak MD-6XP mid height lift. I can’t put a full height lift in my shop due to ceiling height restrictions.
This will make shop life much easier and get me off my knees and back for most service on the cars.
The icing on the cake for purchasing this was $100 discount and free shipping!
I’m working on the set up today. I’m like a kid at Christmas….lol

Floor jack recommendations

So my old and I mean ooolllddd…floorjack finally gave up. I need to buy a new one and not going to Harbor Freight. I was a firm believer in Walker equipment. Any recommendations? Everything made in China?

’62 Dart/Polara hood

I am looking for a hood for my ’62 Polara. I don’t want to drill/ cut on the hood that’s on the car. I realize this is a long shot. Also the closer to Wisconsin the better. Thanks

Feel like a damned criminal!!!???

Just came from my local drug store, picking up a prescription. Walked in the store without my mask, box with masks for customers was empty and no one at the counter. So, I proceed to follow the arrows back to the pharmacy department to get my drugs. Lady walks out of the employee area and barks at me “where’s your mask!!!” I told her I didn’t have one in the car I was driving and your box is empty. She again barked “well next time have it on!”
Talk about feeling like a damned outlaw….
