Installed rebuilt motor & new TC

I recently installed a rebuilt 355 w cc503, RR, shorty headers, new AC Delco opti, etc.

My question is how many quarts of transmission fluid do I need to add? I installed a 12" stall converter. I added a quart & half in converter before installing. After install I added 3 more quarts since most 12" converters hold 4 quarts.

Until it reads FULL on the dipstick???

Frank

Reads full.

car running, shift through the gears (wile holding the brake) stay in each gear for a second or 2, and check the dipstick...repeat untill reads good.

Thanx. I try that tonight.

Ended up adding 1.5 quarts after all. Thanx again for the help.
