Gotcha Sammy, I thought this Brad Penn guy was from NC - wasn't sure what he was concocting. I was busy looking at your cars on Sunday, so I was only listening with one ear! I need some oil pronto, as I need to get the Yenko to Benjamin's kindergarden class' 'Transportation Day' in a few weeks - he's gonna show his friends how to flat shift!

I have recently come across a great product, which when added to the current 'SM' oils, brings the oil to the 'SF' rating for pre-1988 flat-tappet engines. The product is ZDDPlus. After much research, I have added it to all of my '69 Camaros. In fact, I am so confident in the product that I am distributing the product. If you are in need, feel free to PM me.

ZDDPlus

Check out the website especially the tabs on 'diesel oil' and 'racing oil'. Great information depending on the usage of your vintage ride.

Its good stuff Rich but I am not crazy about additives. The Brad Penn is the best deal in my opinion. Glad you are involved with benjamins school show and tell! He will never forget this early childhood stuff with dad! P.S. it seems oil has become a very important factor lately with these cars. Cam shafts, piston scuff, heat, what have you.

Hey Sam, I don't know anything about the Brad Penn stuff Pete recommended. I don't know the rating. All I know is I would stick to the rating I mentioned before. Even if that stuff has more zinc, but is racing oil, I wouldn't use it in our street/strip cars. Besides the zinc, we need the full additive package to combat combustion gases and by-products in the crankcase. Racing oil is ok if we want to change our oil every 100mi. I like my rings to stay loose in their lands and not have my oil pan rot out from corrosive contaminates.
