Yep, I've had 390's, 406's, and 427's back then. That's when we all ran plain old 30-weight and the tolerances were pretty loose, compared to these days.
Oil pressures were 30 psi at best, and sometimes much less. Oh, and they all leaked
oil from somewhere. That's why we all had those sheet metal drip-pans under our cars.
