Passon Performance makes the best fluid and I beleive it is 4 quarts.
1969 Ply Roadrunner, 383 4-speed on street tires.
3,830 lbs race weight.
Best 1/4: 13.1 @ 106.83
440 & overdrive 4 speed going in.
2005 Power Wagon 35X12.5 KM2's

Got it...any particular weight that works best for the 833? Should I shy away from synthetics?? I love using Royal Purple in almost all of my cars including my 2009 Ram. Is this a good idea?

75W-90 is a good choice and if you have an older tranny use 1 qt of Lucas oil additive. It helped quiet my 35 year old never been rebuilt tranny in my previous Duster 340-4spd car on WOT up shifts.
1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD
1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD
Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.

I tried ATF and then Passion Lube in mine. Never did work right. Would grind going into the gears all the time with those two different lubes.
I put 85-140 in there and it works good. I was told my box wss junk on here before the 85-140 went in.
It certainly isn't cherry but it works good and hasn't had to be torn down yet. Had 102K on it when IO began this exercise and now has close to 108K after this summer with the heavy stuff.
I want my fair share
