Manual specifies Type A transmission fluid, which is what I have always used in the past. Now can't seem to find it in any auto parts stores. Get different answers when I ask about it or equivalents. Car Quest just sold me their "Multi-vehicle ATF" assuring me that it was fine. Fine print says it is recommended for vehicles requiring Dexron II. Any advice. Original engine and gearbox in my '79 and want to keep them (and me) happy.

It sounds weird but check your local convenience store. They sometimes have old stuff on the shelves. I found some ATF A in an older store. And yes, even tho I was nowhere near the boat, I bought two quarts.
