Default 1973 Power Steering

Hey, a fast question:

Is there a particular type/brand of power steering fluid I should be using in my 73?

Thanks...

Simple answer, no. Any of the major brands will do, although I'm sure they'll be others that will tout this or that brand.

I use a well known brand name that says it works with my GM power steering. As much of this stuff I have donated to water proofing the road. I don't feel the need to go nuts.

Absolutely. Bottom shelf Walmart. Buy several.
Your garage floor isn't fussy.

And don't forget a drip pan and kitty litter.
