They have a good filteration area. Turbo Action sells these pans and filter kits. They fit well also, plus Paul instructs the Racer on what depth to set the fluid level and that has worked well for me.
A word of caution here - When removing and installing the bolts that hold this all together, please look at the condition of the threads in the pan rail.
These transmissions are a good age by now and if they have been serviced any amount of times also means they have had the hardware " over tightened " a couple of times. I have installed 5/16 x 18 Heli Coils in both of my transmissions pan rails and can tighten the hardware properly.
Have an enjoyable day.

Would you have a part number for the Chrysler Torqueflite Filter you use?
Thanks
