hello again guys.
been busy lately with my own hot rod, so been putting off working on my friends 60 edsel.
another friend worked on it today, installing the distributor and a new set of wires. they didnt have time to take it for a test drive, but should later this week.
i thought i asked some questions here about his auto trans, but cant find the posts. so i got some questions.
we know its a 2 speed ford-o-matic, and his manual says to use "TYPE A" fluid, but at the auto parts store they say to use 'TYPE F", and even on the bottles it says for 1950's and 60's ford automatic transmissions. and they dont even carry the "TYPE A" fluid.
so, will he be ok in using the "F" fluid ?
also, i guess he will know when he takes the pan down, but he has been getting conflicting stories on whether the trans filter is a "clean and reinstall" type filter, or just put a new one in. what type of trans filter is in the ford-o-matic trans ?
where can he order one from ? the local autozones, and even NAPA get all weirded out when you say the work "edsel".
thanks in advance guys.
