Okay, back to the mess.......
Got the new motor and overhauled/rebuilt tranny installed. As mentioned previously, had to install the converter w/o any fluid in it. (New converter).
Being a dumbass, decided to use the SFI flexplate I had lying around. Of course, it doesn't look like it is drilled to get access to the converter drain plug. (Can't find my breaker bar to turn the engine over to confirm).
Perusing my old Service Manual, Chapter 21 has a flow diagram for the 727. Shows that the fluid comes off the control valve, into the converter and front clutch lubrication, out of the converter, to split in the flow.....one to an orifice on the other side of the spool valve, and the other out to the cooler.
Looks to me like you should be able to get fluid into the converter by pumping it INTO the "cooler-out" port..
Question is, which of the two ports on the tranny is the "cooler-out" port?
Logic dictates that it is the forward one. But who knows? Anyone ever tried it?
