Torqueflite 727 fluid

I have a 1968 Chrysler Newport and i think it has a 727 trans in it. i was wondering, first, if it does have a 727 in it and if it does, how much fluid and what kind of fluid it takes?

Thanks Alot Guys!!!

Its either a 727 or a 904, more than likely a 727.
As for the fluid it takes Dextron Mercon III and it will hold 11 Qts dry and 5 qts for a filter change.

Big block or small block? If its a big block it would have to be the 727, that was the only auto for them, the small blocks used both versions though.

You can't kill them if you change the filter.
Mostly the filter plugs with a small amount of goop... the pressure drops ... and then the clutches burn... and REALLY plugs the filter. Other than that, they'll last forever. They (both 727 & 707?) were excellent transmissions, and give very good service. Easy to work on, too.
