Re: what kind of oil and how much

Probably a half pint to a pint and they used to use a "hypoid" oil in those days.

Today, you should be able to use any of the oils available for the purpose. Wally world has Pennzoil full syn for the purpose for one.
Remember, lubricants have improved leaps and bounds from those days.
