What is the correct power steering fluid for a 56 Ford? The shop manual says to use Type A trans fluid. I sent in my power steering control valve for a rebuild because it leaked when I first installed it on my car. It still leaks when I got it back from the rebuilder. He says I am using the wrong fluid, that it should be Type F trans fluid.  Dave

Changing fluid won"t fix the leak!Ask the rebuilder what fluid he wants you to use.

Use trans fluid. Do not use power steering fluid as this can result in leaks. Type F should be ok.
