Factory recommends 20W50, I would go with Torco or Amsoil.

I don't think that they make a 20W 50. Use the 15W.

Also note that the oil change interval is 15,000 miles per the 1980 yes 1980 owners manual and that is with regular oil .... 10-40,15-50 or 20-50 not to be used at constant temps of below +41 F .
