Thanks for the reply G.Gibbs
I do have my old stick for reference and will likely use it to check the new one against
The whole reason I went with the new one was that the original did not want to go back into the hole with the new headers and all. I also wasn't sure in remembering how well seated the original tube was when I yanked it prior to rebuild 2 years ago. Seemed to only go back in about half of the depth looking at the shoulder on the tube??
Lastly try replacing a tube after the motor is back in the car and has headers. Originally i worked it out while on an engine stand with all kinds of room......
Hopefully the lokar fits in nicely
