I have a NP205 transfer case in my 1970 blazer that is original. I can't find any information on it. Does anyone know if it take 80W gear oil and if so, how much of it.

80W90 and i think it takes about 5.2 pints.
But like Rootbreaker said, just fill until it comes out the fill hole.

Thanks, I thought that's what I needed to do. there are two bolts one at the top and one at the bottom. I took the top one off and fluid came out and then more when I took the bottom one off. I was just a little confused when some came out of the top plug.

There are three possibilities. Well, maybe four.
Simplest: The vehicle may have been parked at an angle when you checked it.
Or: If the fluid is hot, it will expand and cause the level to rise.
Or: It may have been over-filled by the prior owner.
Worst Case: You may be leaking fluid between your transmission and transfer case. Check the trans fluid level. If it's ok, then you're probably safe.
