Greetings fellow Dodge van earthling-nuts. Yes, we're not too popular with the main-stream collectors, but what do they know. I just thought I'd throw this one out here with you guys before I trudge to the bone yard. Thanks.

I don't have a spare tube for you, but I did add the long tube to my 72. Now I can check the tranny fluid from under the hood rather than taking off the dog box to do it.

Hey there, all I've got are the long ones for vans. If worse comes to worse I could use a short one, I suppose. The old one was to mangled. I rebuilt the trans and used a 727 tube for a 318, but it's not stable( you can't bolt it to the bellhousing like your suppose to) hence, it's leaking. I did find a repair kit for it though on the internet. You just trim off the end and slip it into an extension that goes into the trans. I never knew they came out with that, and, it's only 3 bucks. Unfortunately, I pitched the old one. They say it's for fords, but I have a hunch it will fit. As I recall , the diameter looks alike on a lot of old tranny tubes. Probably the same manufacturer was supplying detroit? Oh well, thanks for the reply.
