transmissiong fluid refill?

We're in the process of putting a straight 6 300 in my sons truck. After everything that happened most of the fluid leaked out all over the floor. About how much oil does it take in the C4?

If you're going to change it, drain the torque converter also. Take the inspection cover off, have someone bump the starter (if possible) until u see the drain plug it should be 7/16. I just changed mine in my c6..converter & all. it took 12.5 qts. With a c4 my guess would be 10-10.5 qts. Put in 8 and keep checking dipstick.

C4 = 11 quarts including the torque converter. Make sure you use the same ATF. 1964/76 C4's used Type F / 1977/84's used Mercon.
