10 wt oil
according to my 1948 Desoto shop manuel you could use 10wgt motor oil in the converter,also in 1953 only the Chryslers used the same oil in the converter as you used in the motor,it took 10 quarts of oil for an oil change,you changed the crankcase and drained the converter at the same time.It took 30min just to drain the converter.That was the dodge and Desoto also.They did that one year only.Ive had 3 of them and never had an oil leak.They were all Hemi 8s.Late 53 the fully automatic powerflite came out.I will say with the 4speed semi automatic they would take off like a rocket!!!!

Where does the water go?
Hear the rush of air from the fluid drive, hear the monstrous suckulation of the power pump, hear the wind whipping past the high speed tub!

That's really nice Jon!
I'm impressed by the quantity of stuff you have to deal with and with your ability to do some extensive research and still manage to get things done so quickly!

The Arc-Cuate 210
proven in millions of installations, has to be one of the finest pieces of engineering I have seen in a TL washer.
Other than the gunk you cleaned out, the metal wear looks almost nil and to think 57 years after it was made, with a bit of TLC, it is ready to go again.
Amazing.

I don't know sh*t about working on these things but LOVE to watch the videos and view the photos and am in total awe of your ability (as well as others on this site) to do this work. Just incredible.
