Welcome, nice looking car!

There are two square headed plugs on the left side of the gearbox. 
The upper (closest to the front) is the fill plug.  The lower is the 
drain plug.  I have to jack up the left side of the car to access 
them (tight fit).  Use 90 wt. gear oil.  This all assumes you have 
the original ford 4 speed with Overdrive.  Good luck.
