You are probably too young too know about Imperial measures which we had prior to going to French measurements 25 years ago or so.
Complicating factor was Imperial measure was different from US system.
For example the Cdn gallon was 4.5 liters and US is 3.8 liters.
Anyway a US pint is a little less than a liter.
BTW all of this is available on something called the internet.

No, a US quart is very close to a Liter. A pint is 1/2 quart.
Did you purchase an overdrive filter yet? If not, go here:

In short, you need AC-Delco p/n TF184, or Fram FT1024

Sorry if I'm hijacking this but I just changed my O/D filter and added topped it off with new fluid and now it has a monster leak after I test drove it. I can't tell where it is coming from because it looks like it is spraying out from above the O/D unit and leaking down. The pan is sealed fine. Can you overfill these??? is there an overflow?? Any ideas...thanks.

Must be leaking out of the cooler line. Did you loosen any of those flare fittings? Did you remove the TV cable attachment?
It's hard to get a good seal on the pan too.

Thanks for the reply central, I'll look at the fitting. The only thing that I removed was the pan to change the filter and fluid. I talked to a tranny shop this morning and he thought I could have overfilled it and it is blowing out the top breather line or that the filter wasn't sealed properly (I did re-use the old hard grommet) and that it could be sucking air and foaming the fluid and blowing it overboard. Hopefully , I will get a chance to pull the pan and take a better look at it tonight.
Mid-Ohio is two days away and it looks like I will be having a couple all nighters to get this thing ready!! grrrr.

I change the fluid my OD every year. Just buy two quarts of Mobile 1 ATF and a hand pump to pump it from the bottle into the overdrive. You should use the correct size 8 point socket to remove the square plug. Also clean the gasket area and apply a good sealer. DO NOT over tighten the 10mm bolts that hold the pan on. Very easy job - just takes time.
