Guest TimFloyd Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Quick question, have read a lot of conflicting info on various sites about this. 1964 Riviera power steering cap says to use "Type A" transmission fluid. I cannot find any locally and need a suitable replacement I can buy locally as needed. I have read that Dexron III is the correct sub. But then others say to just move to a regular cheap power steering fluid. What are you 64 guys doing? and any leaks or issues to steer clear of? Thanks!!

JZRIV Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I use Dexron since it was designed for it. Walmart has it. It will be labeled as Dexron / Mercon as they merged the 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black River Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Tim, I'm noticing your avatar. Did you buy "The Pagan"? I tried getting that car myself, but couldn't get a deal worked out for a trade on my Cadillac. If you did, congratulations! That's probably one of the sweetest and most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TimFloyd Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks Black River, yes I went head first and pulled the trigger on "The Pagan". I had been watching it for a while and couldn't decide if I wanted to seriously look into it. So I took a Friday off from work in November and made the drive from Nixa Mo to Des Iowa. It was a very solid car. The pics on the website were pretty....polished for lack of a better word, as the car does show its age here and there via a few paint chips, slight interior wear etc, but fell in love with it and made the deal. So far it has been solid as can be. The only bad part about driving it is that a 10 minute trip to the gas station ends up being an hour or better because people just flock to it haha. Thanks again!!

Black River Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Very, very cool. I watched it on eBay for quite a few months, and my dad wanted it also. IF, and I know its a big if, you ever decide to pass it on, let me know...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TimFloyd Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 For sure. The only thing different about the car since you were looking was the dealership had removed the bell flower tips and relocated them out the back. For some reason though something happened and when it arrived at my house those had been removed an it just had raw pipe coming out the back. I had some nice turn downs put on it. I think it looks a little cleaner without the bell flowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black River Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Agreed. That was the only thing I was planning on changing. Didn't mention it in case you liked them haha.....again, congrats on owning my favorite riv out there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
