Bought my first mopar 73’ Duster and the bottom of the air filter pan is black (right above the carb). Any tips on how the 4bbl should be adjusted

Thank you for the info! So it has some coolant in it but maybe only 1/2 quart (cold engine). I see that it looks like it can handle up to 2 quarts. Should I fill it a bit or does it need all that space for the potential hot coolant? Radiator itself if full.
Its ok but a tad more won’t hurt.
