i read on a prior topic about this leaking and mine did and i put silicone around it a couple years ago, well, it came loose when i detached the ext man from the block where the tube attaches.. i should have done it when it was open more, but,,
anyway,, can you just pull the tube out completely and use the silicone under the dirt cap. or does the trans pan have to come off, replace the o ring, then use the sealant on the dirt cap?
the old discussion was a bit unclear to me on that
Sincerely
Tags:
Just pull the dip stick and put a bead of silicone under the dirt shield. There is a product out there that may be better. It is a black form a gasket liquid. Alot of shops use it, but the name escapes me right now.
Can the tube be pulled completely detached fron the transmission or does it need to have some of the end left in. No springs or washers or non visible parts will come zinging out will they, if you completely remove the tube.
Thanks
Thanks everyone
Just came across this, good read. Avoid These Gasket Application Mistakes – Gluegun.com
Completely agree with #2:
Using too much sealant is as bad as using too little. Too much may clog other areas of the engine, while too little may mean an inefficient seal.

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
