It looks like its been over a year or so since the topic oil changes came up. I've got a few questions before I get mine done:
1. It looks like high-zinc 10W 30 is recommended. Any thoughts on the Hemmings Classic Car synthetic oil (https://www.hemmings.com/classicoil) or any other recommendations for what oil to use.
2. Look like it hold 5 quarts - is that correct?
3. Any recommendations of what filter to use?
4. Thoughts on adding any other additives like Marvel Mystery Oil or similar? If so, how much to add? Subtract it form the 5 quart fill?
5. Anything else I should know?
I have a 1963 with the original engine and about 144K miles. I drive it less than 2,000 miles a year, probably less than 1,000. I'll probably have my local shop do the change, but I will bring them the oil and filter. I'm not one to try to crawl under the car and I don't like crawling under the car on ramps either.
As always, all advice is appreciated.

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
