Your ford has a bypass oil filter so only a small percentage of the oil is filtered anyway. As to the weight to use what condition is your engine in? What pressure is your guage showing at idle? If I run a multiweight in my '49 (10w30) I only show about 8 lbs of pressure. with straight 30 it will idle with 20 lbs and at speed will show about 30. I have for the last 15 or so years run detergent in mine without a problem. I always find it slightly amusing when folks are overly concerned with the proper oil to run in these old machines. The oil that was availble at the time of manufacture was swill in comparison to modern oil. Any new oil that you put in specs light years ahead of the intended,I would stay away from synthetics though, it is so thin that you will have oil all over.
