Fill it with 10W30 and regularly check the oil - meaning once a day or before starting it if not used daily. Even if the engine is in good shape it will burn some oil on a regular basis. When new the tolerances on these engines was pretty sloppy given 1970's assembly line processes and manufacturing techniques. Coupled with 40 to 50+ years of use I doubt it is going to burn less oil. Even if multi weigh oil was available when this engine was new it was not near as stable is it is today. Multiweights used to break down fairly quickly under heavy use and many manufacturers continued to use straight weight oils for heavy duty situations. If it burns excessively (more than a half quart per tank of fuel) move up to 10W40 or 15W40. About anything you use today will be better than what was put in it back in the 1970s.
