Dougs installation problems on '74 Duster
So close or touching... BIG difference. The oil moves so fast through the system if there is an air gap, it's not an issue. Mine have at least a 3/16" gap and NONE of the paint is burned on the pan! Hmmmmm ????? Making mountains out of mole hills again.
Funny my Dougs fit perfect in my car, but, not your friends, your friends car must be f'd up... that's using your logic, re tti fit... . You seem to think these cars are built in jigs with tolerances in the .001 range... not gonna happen. More like 1/8" tolerances.
Ever seen tti with a milodon pan?
tti or the predecesor used Dougs as a template.
The OP doesn't even have them in... he thinks they won't work. If you have PS, it sucks for fit no matter which brand you use. Make sure the engine is in the correct location and you shouldn't have any issues.
