Yep. mine too. also cut the ears off each side so it doesn't hit the headers during install.

Bought it from Summit several years ago. Mite be a Lokar ?
I would have to dig through my old receipts. Fits good, no leaks, fluid level a little hard to read

Thats a Lokar piece. The quick release portion bolts to the case, comes with a plug too. Nice feature when doing and R&R.

Used similar fittings on mine as well as the Lokar dipstick. Makes R&R easier. Also drilled holes through the floor to get at upper bolts. Not sure on A-bodies but pretty much a necessity on 1st gen F. Believe removing the ears and grinding case ribs are standard mods for a CSR on a 400.

I ran a Lokar tube a while back and it was painfully slow to fill. Did they change that?

The drilling holes in the floor for the top bolts sure sounds like a good idea. Those from underneath with a long extension and wiggler are hard and from the top even using one of those ratcheting boxed end take forever,

1st time I tried to use it I had a 1000 + RT. Took my foot off the brake pedal and kept holding the button staring at a green light. STOP LAUGHING ! I'm still damn good at footbraking though.
