I am getting close to starting the engine for the first time since the
rebuild. I have the 289 engine and the Flight-O-Matic transmission on a
1956 President Classic. I followed the steps in the shop manual to install
tranny and put 1 quart of fluid in the torque converter. What I need help
with is the steps to actually getting it going again without burning up the
tranny. I will have someone here with me to help get the engine started who
knows alot more than I do about it. What I don't know are the do's and
don'ts about the transmission.

Thanks,
Tim Ulrich
