<VV> Torque converter

[James Davis]

The Corvair TC holds just over 118 oz of transmission fluid.  63 oz of 
fluid will drain out of a full TC if held in a vertical position.  It is 
in Bob Ballew's book.   The shop manual says 8 quarts to fill a dry TC 
and transmission.   Always add at least 1 quart of fluid to the TC 
before installing.  Does the same thing as priming the engine before 
starting a rebuilt engine.
