I drilled a hole in the firewall to access the bellhousing bolt on my car (74 gto), then plug it when not in use. When I put the turbo 200 in the car I had to use the Lokar dipstick for clearance reasons. I also mounted it on the firewall away from that bellhousing bolt. I would much prefer the stock type dipsticks. The problem with cable type dipsticks (Lokar, etc.) is they bend and flex going around tight corners and that can throw off your readings as much as a quart. Ron.
