I don't think that you should put a whole lot of faith in manufacturers recommendations from over 30 years ago. Those recommendations were based on the quality of lubricants available then, not now.
If it were my car, I would go for either a 15w-50 synthetic, or a 15w-40 HD diesel rated oil, such as Rotella, Delo or Delvac 1300. I am facing a similar decision for an aircooled BMW 900 cc motorcycle, vintage 1974. The manual recommends 10w-40, 20w-50, or if multiviscosity is not available, 30 wt. One thing for sure, they want good anti-wear additives such as ZDDP.
I think I am going to go with the 15w-40 conventional HDEO. I have some Castrol Tection around here bought on sale and in the hoarded stockpile. I think I will use that.
