Oil level in a Franklin q/c

[fordracer7]

Anybody know how much oil a Franklin q/c holds? We checked Franklins website and didn't find anything. Don't want to over fill it.

I believe it's about 3 quarts. Fill as you usually do and with the car at ride height open the inspection plug and it should be just at the lip.

On the web site in one of the tech pages it says just over the top of the jack shaft.

Why do they call it a Jack shaft?

Thanks for the help.

We just installed a new frankland this past week. We were told 4 quarts. That put the level right at the bottom of the sight glass.
