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

Good morning to all,
I don't have a part number but you can contact Paul Forte at Turbo Action.
Or contact either Chris or Craig at TSR in New Hampshire and order a filter from them. There is a metal screen filter used for a trans with all steel parts and there's also a "cloth style filter" that's used for filtering out the finer material that the Aluminum parts generate during use. The other outlet I've seen was B&M , maybe through a Jeg's or Summit. A good many race trans builders use these filters in Power Glides so they should be around. I'm confident the Boy's at TSR can set you in the right direction.
Have a Good Day.

In most cases all you have room for is the early small Dacron filter used up till 1965, the common trade number (Transend) is 12010A or the Mopar number was 3621456 .If you have room for the larger filter, 12010C. The early filters had 2 feed holes as they were used with transmissions that still had a rear pump
