Few questions before I install my stall tomorrow I added a B and M supercooler 26000 gvw 10x11x1.5 if i recall correctly and about 5 ft of 5/16ths line total to the B and M and kept stock cooler connected.
I'm going to put 1 qt into the vig 3200-3400 before I install it.
How much fluid should my trans and coolers require to fill, or a good starting point? 7qts total, or is that too much?
The converter bolts I have look really short maybe 1/2-5/8in of thread. They are about 1.5 times as long as they are in diamiter but with a flexplate in between it doesnt leave much to thread on.. is this normal?

Buy 2 big jugs, I believe that is 8 quarts.
Put half a quart or so in the converter. Not too much, or you'll just spill it everywhere.
Put 1 1/2 big jugs in there. That should be 6 quarts.
Start the car and check transmission fluid and run it through the gears, don't move the car though. It will take about 15-20 minutes to get the right amount of fluid in it, because the fluid in the dipstick screws with your readings, so you literally have to check it about 30 times over and over again, wiping the stick, but making sure it's exactly the amount is very important.
So after the six quarts, just keep adding obviously....you might need 7-8.
