Transmission overfill

So maybe I'm an idiot. Don't know yet jury is still out. Replaced the rear main on my 92. 5.0 with the E4OD. I replaced the the gasket on the transmission pan while I was at it. Refilled the transmission with fluid. The torque converter never really got drained. And what I found said 10 quarts for the tranny. 3 quarts for the TC. I put in about 9 quarts. Checked level and its like 3 inches past the max fill line. Rather confused at the moment.
