Hi Ed, your 72 B should have a dipstick / filler hole accessed by removing
a
rubber plug located on the right side of the tunnel just forward of the
radio/consul
brace.
I use some vinyl tubing attached to a funnel. Hang the funnel from
something convienant,
make the tubing just long enough to fit into the filler hole with no sags,
fill thefunnel and go work on somthing else. Refill the funnel everytime I
walk by. Either measure out the volume
of fluid you want to put in, or ifthe fill hole is on the side of the Trans,
set a catch pan
under it. When it runs out of the hole, it is full. Works well with
differetials too.
