WHAT OIL AND WHAT GAS TO USE FOR MY 69 GTX

Not sure about them, but I got the best price on Ebay. There is no end to the sellers and prices.

If you want to read up on which oils are the best for wear protection go to this web site ( 540ratblog.wordpress.com/201...test.rankings ) it's a very long article but makes a lot of very good points. Some oils that I thought were very good ( Brad Penn ) actually don't have a very good wear protection. I have started using Valvoline Max Life 10W40 synthetic blend in my 68 Coronet R/T after reading the article and reading the ratings. There is a lot of good oils out there without adding the additives that the author used in some oils. I looked at it this way why spend the extra money for the additives when you can buy off the shelve oil that's just as good or better.

BLACK88 congrats on the new ride . question, did you get any records(paper work)with the car ?, can you contact previous owner and ask him or her what gas and oil they used to maintain this car? what are the details of the engine?
until you know these answers play it safe
oil with zink such as valvoline VR1/ brad penn (weight based on climate)
Gas highest octane pump gas you can find 91,93, and use a lead additive.
you can add octane booster if it pings on 91,93

MOPOWER871 is correct!
Brad Penn (Kendall oil refinery, specific to Flat Tappet Cams with 1,000 ppm of Zinc and Phosphate
OR
Valvolone VR-1 Racing oil with 1300 ppm of Zinc and Phosphate
The more the merrier
NOTE: Running these oils in your everyday car equipped with a catalytic convertor will plug it up and it will disintegrate due to high heat.
