Dexron III/Mercon atf is what i usually use. if you are unsure if it is the right stuff you could also get ATF+4 which is the stuff used in new newer transmissions with overdrive but is compatible with older transmission. it usually just costs more and no real added benefits for a older transmission.

dont like to admit it, but a good fluid to use is the ford mercon fluid it grabs really tight which is good for the older 727s and 904s
