'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

I just got done installing my pan. Same thing as yours, the ports aren’t drilled/tapped, but it did come with the plugs for them? Came with a set of Holley branded installation instructions and a “302-61” sticker on the box. Pickup tube fits perfect and everything fits great. Unsure if I’ll need to use the oil return ports or not. Don’t think so since I’m not running a turbo or anything external….?

Far as I know, the only reason to use the oil return ports would be a turbo or similar. I have no expectation that I will need them so I don't really care.

The guy at Holley told me that they wouldn't do anything to replace my pan since I bought it from a third party source. I told him I wouldn't have sent it back even if they would since they can't seem to get any in stock and I already have one that works for me.

My box didn't have the P/N sticker unless I missed it. But everything looks to be correct so I am assuming it was the right P/N. Best I can tell, the only difference between the VVT kit and the non-VVT kit is the pickup and mine seems to match the VVT pick so I think I got the right one.

Hard to tell from pics but the R&P has about 1/4” clearance top/back from the pan. I had to drop the rear support brake off the K member and pull the R&P to get the pan in, but wasn’t a big deal at all.

I also installed the Holley dipstick tube and it’s short and to the point! Love it.

Very nice!
