Can anyone tell me how to add fluid to the pump, and is that fluid automatic trans. fluid?

there is a fill hole on the end of the resivoir. it should have a plug in it. i use a little blue bulb to put the fluid in. you know, the kind of bulb used to clean out a babies nose. i call it a snot snatcher! i use dextron auto trans. fluid.

There's a lil rubber plug in the top of the pump. At least 20 years ago (my last power top camaro) ATF was specified.

Do not run the motor with that plug off (ask me how I know and why I remember so well after 20 years.) Fill it to the top, cycle it a few times, then check and fill again. Check it with the top up, and again with it down.

Here's how I do it... Doing the following the system will purge itself of air and the fluid will not over fill the pump. It can be done with almost zero mess too.

To bleed and top-off the system I found a section of plastic tubing that fit in the pumps fill hole and wrapped one end with elect tape until the dia was the same as the stopper. Stuck one end in a qt of atf (brake fluid would work too) and the taped up end in the fill hole and seated it snugly. Run the top up and down several times and finally top down and replaced the plug.

Thank you Very much!!

I used a turkey baster liberated from the kitchen, and it worked great.
