    I'm really surprised at the straight 20W recommendation thought that is only above freezing and you store the car in winter so I guess that works.
    There were no real synthetic oils back then and with non-roller cams you do want high zinc that the old-style oils have, tho zinc additives are widely available.

    That sucks. Easy fix though.

    Are you going to make a six page report on Facebook about it like Grabber did?
