T-5 Fluid Quantity

Hello to all,
Dropping a new T-5 5 speed into my 68, can anyone tell me the correct amount of fluid to put in a T-5?
Also, I'm planning on using redline equivilent of Dexron. Any better ideas?
Thanks.

You take the plug out of the side of the tranny with a 3/8 ratchet and stick your pinky in it if you can touch fluid its full.Same place you fill it is the place you check it
