Default how much fluid after converter install?

I just got done installing my 11" modded trailblazer converter. I'm having a hard time reading the damn dipstick for the trans fluid. How much generally should it take??

I didn't drop the pan, I did install a servo that leaked out some fluid though.

I've got 6 new quarts in there so far including the 3/4 i put in the conveter before putting it in.

That should be enough, maybe too much. Converter shouldn't take much over 3qts, you might be over full. Have you fired it yet?

That dipstick is a pain.Gotta give it time for the oil to settle. I also like to read the back of the dipstick so the oil that is pulled outta the tube has a smaller effect, if that makes since.
