62 Power Steering pump fluid?????
 

So I thought that some idiot filled the PS pump with ATF. Found that after I removed the inch of crud, that it was supposed to .

My question is should I use the clear stuff or go with ATF? I assume that they used ATF because the clear stuff was not around.

WHat harm would it do to use the clear stuff.

Oh, I also got the 62 PS pump to fit on my 72 350 with 77 alternator bracket and the original 62 PS bracket and pulley!!

I'm not sure what you mean by the clear stuff...power steering fluid is more or less the same color as automatic transmission fluid. At any rate, the factory said to use ATF.

New power steering fluid is clear.

Any ATF?

THANKS!!

Dexron.

I threw some Dexron in the pump of my '59 after reviving it from a 30 year nap and most of leaked out pretty quick. Threw some Type F I had lying around from a drain/refill on the trans, and all of the leaks permanently stopped. Dexron has perpetually gotten thinner with each revision and it's just too darn thin to be running in these power steering systems, especially on the original 40+ old seals and gaskets.
