ATF capacity, 1973 Bronco behind 302 engine

[Jim Pivonka]

The total automatic transmission fluid (ATF) capacity of the C4 transmission in a Mustang & other auto applications is about 8 quarts. ATF capacity is a function of both the transmission case and the torque converter. The 2 wheel drive, three speed Bronco may have had a different torque converter than passenger cars and the Mustang, leading to a different total ATF capacity for the Bronco.

Does anyone here know the ATF capacity of the transmission & torque converter behind the 2 wheel drive, three speed, 1973 Bronco?

Also, it seems possible that the fill tube for the Bronco was a different length than the "normal" Mustang & passenger car fill tube, and that the Bronco version of the C4 transmission had a different dipstick than would be used in a passenger car. Any idea if that is the case?

I know that my 65 mustang runs better with the c4 filled too the top of the dip stick fill level then at the bottom of the fill level thats all I can add for you good luck but I might need too tighten the bands too......
