Transmission, torque converter, updated starter questions

I am just about ready to install my 1967 318LA mated to the 904 transmission. I have the torque converter sitting ready to be installed, then mount the flex plate....Right sequence? How much trans fluid should I put into my TC when I install it? I should probably install the starter before I join the trans to the engine. I understand that it is common practice to put in a later model (early 90's?) smaller starter in place of the original, correct? What starter do you guys recommend? Any point in spending a bunch of money? I am changing to an electronic ignition if that matters...Am I missing anything? Thanks as always...Here's some PIX
