Brake Fluid Question

I have question regarding the reservoir for the brake fluid. I noticed that there are 2 areas under the cap. Is one an overflow or are they both supposed to be filled?

Thanks,

Chad

you have a dual reservoir master cylinder. both are to be filled, but not "topped over".

I believe 69 was the first year for the dual reservoir. it was a safety and ease of service development....

nope, 67 - 72 had the daul resivour... I think 67 was the first year.
one side is the front brakes, and the other side is the rear brakes.
