[T3] ZDDP...again

[Bryon Garvin]

Thanks to all for the product suggestions.  Turns out there a shop around
the corner that sells Brad Penn.  I think I'll go that route.  But my other
question is which oil?  I've been going with 10W30 in the winter and 10W40
in the summer.  Should I just stick with that plan?  There are more to
choose from in this list:

<http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/Racing-Oils.aspx>I seem to remember
from some list conversations and notes I took, that straight weight oils
might be better for us and they specifically mention these for air-cooled:

<http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-30.aspx>
http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-40.aspx

<http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-40.aspx>Would
this be the way to go if they have it?  And would 40 in the summer and 30 in
the winter be the choices with straight grade?

Thanks for helping a newbie out,

 - Bryon, '71 Fastback
