The only figure I have been able to find is "11 quarts refill". Is that just a fluid change? On a drain and refill, the torus would not normally be drained. What is the amount needed on a completely empty rebuilt ?

    Capacity:
    Eleven (11) quarts of fluid are required to refill after draining torus cover and oil pan. Twelve (12) quarts of fluid are required to requred to refill after the transmission has been disassembled and rebuilt. Use Hudson part #305096 approved Hydra-Matic Drive Fluid only.

    Thanks! Glad I bought 3 Gallons.. NOT 305096, but Good, none the less.. LOL

    My memory of a 54 Hornet, was that it took about 14 quarts to get it to work.. But my memory ain't what it used to be.
