RE: {Chrysler 300} Type A auto trans fluid for PS?

[<jackcboyle@xxxxxxxxx>]

My father (the 50+ year Mopar mechanic) told me Dextron in the 60's and 70's and then changed to recommending generic (NAPA) power steering fluid 20 or so years ago. My C300 like the NAPA PS fluid and the rebuilt (in 2020) Lares unit and pump are working great, drives great and NO leaks.

Folks

So, the original factory recommendation for the Power Steering reservoir on my ‘56 Golden Hawk (sorry!) says “Type A”. I’m guessing other similar vintage Letter Cars called for the same so was wondering what you used in lieu of the old Type A? Dexron/Mercon? 

I think most of the newer fluids are probably backwards compatible, especially for a PS pump, but wanted to poll the group. 

Sorry if I’m missing the obvious!

Thanks, 

Keith
