Same here, I guess I've been lucky all these years. lol
The only time I had a transmission failure is when I didn't engage the convertor to the pump, sheared the ears at startup. lol
I was 14 years old at the time, lesson learned. lol
FWIW I use type F fluid. someone told me to years ago.

Yup. Always have. 904 or 727 either one. It never fills them completely up, but it also never allows them to run dry. It's only 8 quarts. Every Torqueflite I've ever seen takes more then that.
 
727 takes about 8 to 9.5 quarts depending on which convertor it has and up to 11 with deep pan.

Couldn’t agree more. Will run dry? Where in the hell do think 8
Qts is going to go? I quest I’ve have really been lucky than for 49 years the way I was taught. Cause I have never burnt one up. In 72-76 at a shop that we did all the work on Hillsborough County Sheriffs cars which were alL SB and BB Coronets. They went thru torgueflites like most people go they tires. I NEVER LOST ONE STARTING With 5 qts and adding 3 more after start up. your making way to much of this!

More than half of the transs that come in with a burnt forward clutch also have a scuffed converter... If your converter is scuffed where it rides in the pump bushing; well, now you know why. Converters that were never ran low show NO signs of wear. I had this one idiot who followed some silly advice...his converter was worn down about 1/16" all the way around. Sometimes I think transmissions should have an oil pressure gauge just like a motor, so folks can see what's really going on. The problem with bad advice is that it works SOME of the time.
