1. Yes.
2. A 77 should have a side hole which is the combined filler and level
indicator. However some people have said that it takes more than the
recommended quantity to reach this hole. Personally I would go by the hole
and not the quantity.
Earlier boxes had a top filler, accessed through a hole in the transmission
tunnel behind the radio panel, it was fitted with a dipstick.
