What is correct TorqueFlite transmission fluid for 64 Ply Belvedere 318
 

Just purchased this vehicle (all orig daily driver) and want to be sure I'm going to use correct fluid. Always remember 'Type A'. Is current replacement Dexron/Mercon (progressive upgrade from Dexron, Dex II, III, addition of Mercon etc) correct for today.

i think "A" is called out by the factory. back then.. but i think the experts will tell you ATF +4 now days. back in the late 60-70s we used type "F" i had a mech i knew use farm tractor transmission oil in a chevy RACE CAR.. i have in the past run 2 QTs rear end grease in my 727-904s. but i dont think i would run it in my 2001 dakota 42.

Dex/Merc is the replacement for Dextron III .... ATF +IV has got fiction modifiers in is for the more modern transmissions and V has even more additives....Bill
