I just got an '86 T-Type, has kenne bell valve covers, 2 questions, how much oil (can't find fluid capacities on the site) and which valve cover does it go in to. there's no filler cap, each valve cover has 2 chrome breathers, the front ones are removeable.

You can add oil through either breather hole. Each cylinder head has drainback holes that allow oil to drain into the crankcase. Total system capacity is 5 quarts. Just remember when you change the filter to pull the ecm fuse out of the fuseblock and crank the engine until your warning light goes out or your gauge shows some pressure just in case you cavatate your oil pump. If in doubt check your dipstick.
