Default 1980 Corvette ATF location help.

Hello. I want to change the fluid and filter in my TH350 on my 1980 Corvette. It has 60,500 miles on it and I am not sure if the previous owner changed the filter. Through internet research, I take it you can no longer buy Dexron II ATF. So, what do I use? Would it be Dexron III? I do not want to use synthetic ATF. Any idea where I can purchase Dexron II? Advance Auto, Autozone, Amazon, eBay are the places I looked. Thank you.

No, just a feeling of the warm fuzzies that you get when you do some routine maintenance on your sports car. You might have an issue if you are experiencing slow or soft shifts.
