Assuming it's the Canton 15-820 - FE FRONT SUMP RR T PAN, that would be 7 quarts in the pan and one in the filter. I'd put 6 quarts in the pan and put a 'Fill' or 'Add One' mark on the dipstick, then add the extra quart and put a second mark at the 'Full' level'.
My pan was custom built, deeper in front than the pan on Armando's Web site, so the published capacity isn't valid. When I got it I filled it with water from a calibrated pitcher until it got to the windage tray, so I know exactly what it takes. Interestingly, there is so much surface area in the pan that adding an additional litre or quart for
oil retained in the heads will probably only raise the level in the pan by 1/8" - I'll know when I install it in the next week or so.
