I've got a 1964 Galaxie 500 Convert, 390" engine, C4 trans. It has a power steering assist system. The oil in it is tractor hydraulic fluid and it foams and blows out the reservoir. What fluid should I be using since this stuff obviously foams?!
Thank you for help.

Welcome to the forum!! If you go to any auto parts house they sell a power steering specific fluid. I like synthetic oils

So it doesn't have to be Ford specific P/S fluid in the old ones? Not Ford ATF?

Nope. ATF is the only fluid specific to old fords

Gee, the ATF doesn't foam! Tractor hyd. oil does! Duh! A little draining and new ATF and Its fine. How odd!

what I ment is ATF fluid requires somthing different for old ford automatic transmission. Power steering fluid is power steering fluid. Nothing specific about it. If you drain out the hydraulic fluid and replace it with powersteering fliud you should be good to go.
