Best to use the dip stick and tube that came with the transmission or an aftermarket AOD dipstick and tube. You might have to use a tube bender to get it in the right spot. Prior owner had a C-6 dipstick in it and I had all kinds of trouble with getting my fluid level correct before buying the aftermarket one. This is the one I ordered. I had to bend it a little and modify the bolt flange to make it fit my 69 428 Mach 1. You might try one of those that are flexible and mount to the firewall if you do not want to go to all that trouble. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Q7A6VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I used a 1992 mustang AOD in a 1969 and the dipstick that came with it worked fine. I made my lines from the nickel copper tubing that is easy to bend. Wasn't to hard at all.

I’m going to put a AOD in the 69 this winter. Who makes the best dip stick for that transmission? One that is easy to fill the transmission. What transmission lines should I use?
-
Forgot to mention too that the gray primer will help fill in any pits from rust. even used it on a quarter panel one time to fill in some pitting before finish painting and it held up well so far thats been 6 years ago
-
Thank you
-
I used it on a 1969. After cleaning and sanding I sprayed it with the gray masterseries primer then sprayed it with black top coat. I have since sold the car but the new owner and I keep in touch and he said all the paint is holding up well even the red and clear SPI

Has anyone used master coat on the underside of there car? I’m going to strip the floor pan inside & out. Or is there something better?

Corrosion, wear and tear. You can sand the contacts etc and make it serviceable again.

I used some sticky foam about 3/16" thick in that area, but placed it on the metal, not the sail panels. I did the LizardSkin on the interior so probably wasn't needed but it was an easy install. I thought I had a photo, but apparently I don't. Here is what I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNBV7WK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Thanks, I have reproduction jute, I can’t post pictures but the new is black and stays together better than the old gray stuff. I saved my windlace and have a new screw for that point.
-
Vic's photos that he couldn't upload.

What Jimlay posted is 71-73 switch. But the repro 71-73 switch I bought did not last. You can open your original 1970 switch and usually repair/clean it and it will last longer.

I still wright hand written receipts because i cant find a program that i can make my own receipt with out going through a second party .

Mach1 Driver started following Site seems very quiet.

Agreed, the site is next to useless without the ability to post pictures, and like the rest of you I'm not usually willing to park a picture elsewhere (or find some other source) so it can be shared here.

Congrats on your progress Vic. I would like to see what it looks like completed. Your 68 Coupe looks like the same color of the 68 GT Coupe I used to have.
