Is that the old one that used diesel fuel in the torque convertor?

No. The Spicer version that was used from 1939 to about 1952 used diesel fuel in the torque converter. Runs a line from the fuel tank through the converter and back to the tank.
The Allison version is self contained and uses an oil of some kind in the converter. I think 30 weight might be too thick for what I see in there, but since that's what the engine uses it would not surprise me that GM made them use the same oil.
I will check with Allison.
Thanks for the replies,
