383 commando oil viscosity

What oil viscosity should I be running for my 66 fury?

Being in Australia I’m guessing 10w30?

Also, synthetic oil. I’ve heard it’s not with it for older cars as it can increase leaks. This true?

I haven’t had an old car before, so sorry if these seem like newbie questions.

Thanks

I’ve highlighted the parts in after in the attached picture.

I hope it makes sense.
Thanks

66 Plymouth VIP dashpad

Hey guys, I recently got a few quotes to get my dashpad repaired locally here in Australia and it was obviously the places weren’t interested as the quotes were ridiculous.

So the best option I feel is to get one from the US shipped over and paint it.

Can anyone recommend me a place that makes dashpads and offers international shipping?

Thanks
