Dexron III as a minimum.

Whatever you do, don't use the AF fluid that is used in the old Fords, as that fluid is not compatible with the guts of the GM Trans.

Stay with Dexron III.   I think Dexron IV is Synthetic, and you don't want to start mixing this stuff.

Just had reason myself to find out what is the correct fluid today that replaces Type A and as the boys mentioned Dex111 is the way to go.

Cheers,
