Another Oil question
I couldn't find this on the oil sticky so I thought I would ask. Is Quaker State Ultimate Durability 10W30 full synthetic safe/a good choice for use in a 1971 454 and/or a 1976 350? Thanks.

I would not use any oil that does not talk about it being developed specifically for flat tappet cams. Their web site needs to show you a spec sheet detailing the zinc content for the viscosity you wish to use. I didn't see any such things on the Quaker State website.
