You can prime the converter,, a Lil if ya want to. You have to get the converter locked into the pump Drive of the transmission (it's 2 clicks) before mating to the bellhousing. I use a Lil blue locktite on those and the flexplate bolts. I also like a Torque wrench on a lotta stuff. Like the flexplate... if you can get one on the converter I'd do that too
