We use Brad Penn, made in the old Kendall refinery in
Bradford PA. Similar to Kendall GT-1 with plenty of ZDDP. Dick

Another approach is to use Valvoline VR-1 racing oil; it has more
ZDDP.
However, a friend showed me an article in the Packard Pelican or whatever
it is that says VR-1 doesn’t have enough detergent. I suspect it’s still
more than oil 50 years ago.

I've found two easy ways to get the ZDDP back in the oil. One is to buy the
Redline Break-In Additive and use about 3 oz of it with each oil change.
The other, even easier, is to buy a can of STP, which has the right amount of
ZDDP in it, when you buy the oil and filter and put the STP in along with the
new oil. The advantage of the Redline is that it's actually a little
cheaper per dose and is easy to poor. The STP is thick and hard to
pour. But the STP is available anywhere so it's pretty convenient.

Thanks for the input guys. I agree about the oil.
I've driven the car a total of about 10 miles since buying it from another
list member who also didn't drive it during his ownership I believe.
There is a receipt from a commercial garage showing a ring and bearing job,
but the receipt has no date on it. The inside of the engine is very
clean and the oil isn't bad either so since that minor overhaul it must have
been reasonably maintained, but of course with low ZDDP oil like we are all
stuck with in the mainstream oils. I'm thinking of using rotella once
I'm back up and running since I don't have a converter to get clogged up with
zinc.
