You won't be able to completely fill the converter. It fills itself while it's running.
just note how much fluid spilled out, and add that much plus a little more while it's running.
You need a hand pump to overfill it then drain to the right level.
It's a PIA, but it's what has to be done.
Hope this helps.

Fill it to just dribbling out and then start it, then put more in until it comes out replace lower plug.
Let it get up to temp, then just remove lower plug, if it dribbles out fast let some out, if just a little, put in plug and it should work fine.
