I am using a Volvo 740 M47 gearbox freshly fitted to a Ford flathead V8 engine . The gearbox is has been rotated around 15 decrease and now cant use the fill / level plug . The gearbox needs oil but have no way of using the plug facility and will fill from the top cover with ATF auto trans oil ?, but what quantity please?

Just a thought - if you've rotated the gearbox axially so it's difficult to reach the fill/level plug, it's entirely possible that the oil pump inside the box (if it has one, i'm not sure but would think it does) is now raised higher in relation to where it would normally be.
If it's a simple "oil-bath" lube system, it's also possible the mainshaft won't have enough oil splashing about so in either cae, i'd suggest adding about 10% more than the specified quantity so 1.75-1.8L total. What are you building if you don't mind be asking?
