My '76 w/727 trany has the sensor-type dipstick as well. I can't find an idiot light for it anywhere, but upon close inspection I could make out a 'full' line just above the oval slot at the tip of the dipstick where the sensor is located. Mine also leaks if I park driver's side low.
Hope this helps,

I recall one particular van I worked on, was a 76 Plymouth Maxivan, and it had an idiot light built into the dash display. We figured out where it was and even got it to come on. We also figured out the sensor didn't actually do anything for oil depth, but seemed to be temperature. It didn't come on, though, until the tranny was smoking ( yeah, learned that by real life experience...same maxivan ).
Not sure what good it was... But the black plastic dipstick made reading the tranny fluid level a bit uncertain.
