I always ran Delo 400 15-40 that we had at the railroad for various vehicles in my 1929 Model A. I put around 20k miles on the car before I sold it. With no oil filter, oil changes need to be frequent, so a cheaper oil might be OK since it will get changed out often. I use oil from NAPA auto parts in my Dodge and DeSoto, and it seems to be fine, but I put in zinc additive. The Model A doesn"t have real strong valve springs, so tappet and cam wear will be less that a more modern engines. Be sure to use the proper, thick oil in the trans and rear end. That stuff is good for leaky steering gears, too.
I ran the Delo 400 in my 1943 Ford jeep that was well worn and neglected. Never had problems with it dislodging sludge, and that motor was pretty dirty inside when I did the valves.
Also, watch the quality of replacement parts. Some are really poor quality, and they are not always import parts.
