Hi Paddy,

Just over an ENGLISH Gallon.
Don't forget to fill the convertor before fitting, about a pint (not Guiness).

Reminds me I put 4 US quarts(think thats about 6 1/2 English pints)as advised by a major parts supplier, Dexron II in mine after changing filter .Might explain why it wont hook up and go.Looked about right on the stick as I remember,checked after running.
Hope I havent cooked it,done about 50 miles.

Looking in the handbook Torqueflite "6" 16 pts US and "8" 18 1/2 pts.Oops

you wont be far off matey if all you have done is the oil/filter the majority of fluid is held in the converter they can hold 8 pints alone

but you have to dip them running hot in neautral

good luck,,,,,,,,,,,,, WATTS RACING TRANSMISSIONS
