It depends on whether your dashpot has the vent
passage in it. The dashpot tops without the holes....
goes with dashpots that have a passage drilled down through
the weird little bulge (looks like a church buttress) on the
side of the neck of the dashpot. This allowed the piston to vent
to the dashpot chamber. No drill through...needs the vented
dashpot piston top.

Subject: Dashpots, Part 2
The more I thought about it, the more I recall some dashpots venting
thru a small hole in the top of the screw in damper. You know the one
that squirts the oil all over your motor when you overfill the piston.
Then I recalled another dashpot with an internal venting hole. Some of
those screw in tops are plastic and vent but the early ones are brass
with no hole. Can anyone enlighten me as to which is the proper
application for the 67 BGT?
