Default Power steering fluid

This may sound like a stupid question, but I have been unable to find where to put the power steering fluid in my '79 vette. Any ideas?

The cap is below the alternator. Its hard to get your hand in there and get it off. Get a light pointed in there and you can see it. You need a long funnel to pour it through.
By the way don't be afraid to ask questions, we're here to help.
