I use the regular old power steering fluid from Pep Boys, amber in color and works fine. While the manual (on the older cars) may state it's OK to use ATF, the current formulation of Dexron/Mercon may not be compatable with the seals, etc in the steering system. I run the same fluid in both the '73 and the '86 with no problems or leaks.
