I just did mine it it took 5. That's not draining the torque convertor just the pan.

Just curious as to how you know it takes type F? only the early ones take type F, otherwise mercon/dextron is used after 77 IIRC and if it's been rebuilt in the past 20 yrs it should be mercon/dextron irregardless.

From the 1973/79 Ford Passenger Car & Light Truck Parts Catalogs

XT-2QDX = A/T Transmission Fluid "MERCON"

Used in all 1977/79 C4 & C6 Transmissions.
------------------------------------------
Ford trucks use 6 quarts of motor oil with a filter change, 5 quarts without it.
