I have to run it in our '69 Mach 1 as it needs the stuff plus it's a high compression engine. Some guys in the Camaro-Mustang world are going to roller lifters then the need for the ZDDP goes away anyway.
Maybe but there is no need. The 15-40 API SL oil that I used is readily available and cheaper than the SM by the same manufacturer.
