67 442 Power Steering Fluid Level???

Hi guys,
First I will say my power steering has been working fine, with effortless, smooth turning of the wheels. There are no noises or leaks in the unit. My 67 442 has the steering pump shown in the 1st pic. When I went to check the fluid level this morning my first surprise was that there was no dipstick attached to the bottom of the cap. I can see fluid in the reservoir, just out of sight of what you can see in the 2nd pic. My question is, should I add additional fluid to bring it to the bottom (or higher) of the filler neck? Without a dipstick I have no idea how much should be in there? Thanks in advance for yor advice.

the fill level is marked on the waterpump side of the pump, look in the top of the pump and you should see an indentation for the correct fill level.

nicks1966 - Thanks for the quick reply, I got.it! If you blow up that 2nd pic I sent you can actually see the slight indent in the filler tube. Thanks again!
