I guess if I have to get under the 123 chassis to do the converter, and the
tranny filter I might as well pull the bango fill tube. Problem was last
time I did this on my 1977 300D I did not seal the filler tube right and it
leaked real bad and I had to go back and correct. Operator error

Why not disconnecting the return line at the cooler and hooking up the

That's a good idea, I did not think the tube goes all the way to the
bottom of the pan though (or there was something in the way). Next time
I take it off I'll have to check. On the GM tranny, the tube stops
before the bottom, but it points there, and the suck tube can slide all
the way to the bottom.
