Thanks so much for all the posts! I should be able to figure out the level now. This has been a long process of resuscitation and I'm nearing the point of getting this car on the road.

Wasn't there some switch on the dash that you had to push, or slide, and then if the indicator light came on you had either enough, or not enough fluid?
Not to hijack your thread, but I have a stash of mostly early Alfetta Sedan parts for sale CHEAP. Exterior lights, new rubber parts, fuse boxes, 3 new rear brake rotors, some trim. PM me if interested.

Thanks Larry. I will definitely keep you in mind as this project progresses. Yes, I see now that the dipstick port has a wire attached which must lead to the dash light switch. I still need to work out how to fill the transmission with new or more fluid.

Thanks for all your help!! I've figured it out. On the right side of the transmission, there is a large L-shaped banjo fitting that has a breather tube attached. The top of the fitting is fitted with a screw-in level sensor that goes to a light on the dashboard. When fluid is low the circuit is open.. At proper level, the circuit is grounded. Seems backwards to me, but that's the way the meter reads. On the side of the level sensor barrel are marks for maximum and minimum fluid level. As I fill with transmission fluid, I will keep checking with a hand-made dip stick to get the right level. Thanks again for all the great responses.
