How much gear lube?

I went to check the gear lube in my 9" Ford floater, in my American Made dirt modified. When I took out the normal plug to check the level, on the drivers side of the carrier, about 3" up, gear lube came pouring out. I bet 2 or 3 quarts. HOW MUCH FLUID SHOULD BE IN THERE? AND IS THERE SO MUCH FLUID BECAUSE OF IT BEING A FLOATER? dO YOU FILL IT ON TOP OF THE HOUSING WHERE THE VENT TUBE GOES?
I NEED HELP FAST TO GET IT BACK TOGETHER FOR THE WEEKEND.
THANKS
 
I always filled them to that plug that you took out. If they are to full it will cause extra drag and damage just like over filling motor oil.
