Brake fluid level

Hi,

Stupid question, I know, but what should the brake fluid level be? I dont have an original manual and the Chiltons manual I have doesnt seem to note it.

I ask because it is basically as full as it can get without overflowing. Its been a long time since owning a car this old but I dont recall many needing to be filled this much. I tried taking a bit out to see if there was a "min" and/or "max" making anywhere thinking maybe the last guy over filled it but dont see anything.

As full as it can be without over flowing or 1/32 lower is full.

Ok, thanks. So it is where it should be. Just wanted to rule out something obvious before going too far. Thanks!
