Filter/gasket question 
I am getting ready to change the fluid/filter and install my new converter. I went to the store to buy a filter and gasket at an Advanced Auto store and they list two. One for a flat shallow pan and one for a stepped deep pan. Which do i have? Both showed 16 bolts. I did not know there were different pans. Also how many quarts of dexron do i need with a dry converter? Last edited by ping2day; 06-13-2006 at 05:24 PM. Reason: left out info

Camaros are shallow, unless you do like I did and
swap on a truck pan.
Do not buy a cork gasket type if you have a steel
pan with the ridge; I had a chrome pan on there
that just pressed through and split it over time and
gave me a big ol' leak. If it gets done leaking you
will not have enough juice left, to drive. That's one
reason to like the truck pan & filter.
