There are two plugs, on the pass side. The upper plug is for filling lower is for draining. You fill the upper one until oil comes out and that is the correct level.

Thanks. haven't crawled under the car yet to check it out. Is the upper plug pretty accessible? If needed what type of lube is used?

If you going to mess with it change the fluid. Drain and refill with Brad Penn classic. http://www.penngrade1.com/Products/G...SAE-80W90.aspx

Your a fortunate 1 to have a drain plug.
My '68 had to be evacuated by sucking out the old fluid and refilling
via the fill hole.
Not going anywhere for a while grab a snickers...... came to mind.

Ditto here on my 68, no drain plug, just a fill plug.
