fork oil

Hi all!
Quick question....

How many oil do i have to put in my fork???

My bike is a 1976 k6........my shop manual is not very accurate about oil amounts.....probably b/c of the many different types of fork on different models...

I have the model of fork that has no bushings.....only a piston damper....

Hope i'm precise enough.....

Thanks
