Brake fluid was used in the system originally.

Hydro e electric recommends ATF rather than brake fluid...works great in my original 1951 top motor.

I would flush the system with alcohol before changing the type of fluid. This will remove most of the brake fluid in the system. I use brake fluid in my 65 Cutlass convertible, because I did not want to rebuild the system and do not feel comfortable mixing even a small amount of brake fluid with ATF..
