Eric,
My Haynes manual which looks like a reprint of my original workshop manual 
(out in the garage and not as easy to reference) states 12.5 pints (7.25 
litres) 
in the sump for 29 series engines so, 12 3/4 pints would make it show 
overfull on the dipstick.  I vaguely remember 7 quarts with oil filter change 
but my 
memory is not what it was and I haven't changed the oil for 22 years (car has 
been a garage queen).  The other suggestions have also been about right.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Dave
