Bryan,
The Napa in Walnut Creek caries the GL1: 90 W mineral oil.
And next time we meet up with Steiny in Windsor, we can take a field trip to Tractor Supply.
Looks like there is one in Brentwood (a bit closer).

Thanks Geo and Steiny, and let's plan on that. I did buy myself two liters of GL-1 from AutoRicambi a while back, so at least I have that. If I can get a gallon from the NAPA store in Brentwood or Walnut Creek or exchange some beers with Steiny for some of his precious stock, I should be good.

In other news, I did finish up for the time being on my '71. It still needs a top and a paint job, but otherwise runs pretty good. It drips a bit of transmission fluid, but since it shifts pretty good, I'll leave well enough alone for now. I'm currently back to working on the '69, and this week has been removing the gas tank and everything in the trunk and cleaning it all up.
