On these older units sometimes I have to rebuild the existing parts using rebuild kits from Napa.

I doubt a 40 yr old unit will take dot5...will more than likely be just dot 3/4...but best bet it to find someone with a service manual to double check

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
