Default Best auto trans. fluid?

What is the best auto trans. fluid to use on an early 80's 5.0 carb with an auto. trans? Are there any additives that I should put it so my trans. will last a long time? Thanks.

choice of fluid is up to you and based on how much you want to spend (ive been using mobil ATF with good results, and its cheap) but never add any additives to your tranny, or your engine for that matter

I use type F. It has more grip than anyother fluid out there. I like a hard shift.

will it do any harm to use type F in a tranny that calls for Dextron?
