Why would you need extra fluid capacity? Not needed for cooling, if a good trans cooler is used. By using the spacer to lower the pickup, and running a qt low, you get the extra capacity, and also keep the fluid further away from the rotating parts.

PS: if I am not mistaken TFpatty has the dropped spacer for the dual pump transmissinons. I can use the singel pikup in my early trans, as I have a manual VB, and the rear pump removed.

Not ragging on you, just asking questions, and discussing this to learn. When I was 16 I knew everything, now at 66, I have forgotton a lot.

C'mon Charlie, you know this. Nitrous+loose converter+trans brake=you need all the fluid capacity you can get to keep from cooking a converter.

My Valiant doesn't have a trans temp gauge, but my Cuda has never seen over 180 degrees at the track. I have seen about 210 on the street after a 100 mile drive, with the 8 in converter.

Thanks for all your help. I took the spacer to a machine shop, and he did great, since I also gave him the filter to work with. I got it all put together, and it works fine. I appreciate all the help.
