From : mike

Q: hello i have a 1986 b150 dodge van with a 318/5.2 with a 727 torqueflite transmission and i found out that it originally had a 904/999 loadflite/torqueflite transmission but when it was swapped over they didnt change the dipstick and or the dipstick tube. help. i could use the length of the tube on a 727 out of an 80s van and from the handle to the add mark and from the add mark to the full mark on the dipstick. any help would be greatly appreciated. mike .
