Not having much luck here in Ohio. Found one at the local parts store, but it's a generic brand.

  Read some of the labels on the atf containers, some may be compatible or replace type A fluid.
I'm suprised you can't get type A fluid , chevys used that stuff all through the 70's and 80's.

I'd run type F if it was mine.

type F has a higher co-efficient of friction than type A.may make the trans shift a little harder
