I just installed a 350 sbc mated to a TH350 in my '69 Chevelle. I did not prefill the torque converter. Am I screwed (i.e. do I have to drop the tranny)? I know some TQ will fill on their own. Thanks, Brawley

Hmmmmm, i gonna say fill it. I do it. Every show on tv says fill it. I remember on Monster Garage they did not and trashed the tranny. See what others say.

You have to put at least a quart in it. Also remember. When installing the converter, Slide it in, Then turn while pushing until it engages the pump and slides the rest of the way in....
