Checking my Dextron III? (68 Lebaron)



I replaced my hoses tonight, while trying to stay dry.  They were quite 
pricey at $2.+/foot.  Is this normal for transmission fluid hose?

Anyway, the car seems to run just fine now.  No slippage.  The lockup 
converter works just fine.  However, when I was trying to check the fluid, 
(after a 1.5-2 mile trip, hope the fluid was warm enough) I was 
confused.  The upper side of the dipstick showed a bit below the add a pint 
line.  The other side of the stick though had a trace of fluid about 1.5 
inches higher.  This line was not quite as well defined.  Did this 2-3 
times, the same (wiping the stick every time).  I do not want to 
overfill.  Any suggestions how to do this right?  I recall people saying, 
that you can't overfill these transmissions, because they tend to leak the 
excess off.  Is this right?

Thanx
