I've just replaced the hyd clutch system (removed,cleaned and 
re-installed same units) on my 88 s10,and instead of Dot-3 brake fluid 
I filled it with Dexron-lll...it's working fine,and was wondering about 
the pro's/cons of using it in the Corvair's brake system,,mainly 
because Dexron doesn't absorb moisture like brake fluid does... any 
thoughts?...Tom..//

My Thoughts: 1] Destruction of seals is the first concern.
                       2] Is its boiling point higher than brake fluid
                       3] I wonder why no car mfg has started using it 
that way
