Factory recommendation was Type A automatic transmission fluid. Modern equivalent is Dexron III ATF.

You can also use any general use power steering fluid.

The 1966 Cutlass PS Pump does not have that kind of cap. It's one of the 1/2 turn style with no dipstick attached. About half way up the filler neck works.
