    I just picked up these NOS cans for my collection. I thought they might be from the 1980's but there are no UPC codes on the cans, and the UPC codes came about in the 70's. Perhaps Chrysler just didn't use them. It could be that simple.
    If any of you old Mopar guys know for sure about the date of these cans, thanks in advance. They are cardboard (composite), not steel. Black with silver letters.

    Have never seen those. :happy107:
    We always used 10w-40 and straight 40w in the Late 70's

    I'd guess late 70's at the earliest. There should be a way to search the SF/CD standards to see when those were the latest offered. (??)

    Good idea. I searched and found out 1988 and older so my first inclination of the 80's was correct. Thanks! Chrysler didn't bother with the UPC code on the cans.

    3 more items to add to my growing collection.
    The can is NOS (new old stock) and really decent.
    The 16" sign is porcelain and can be found on ebay at the moment for really good prices ($30 - $40 range) since there are so many (all these signs are reproductions by the way so don't pay attention to the seller garbage in the descriptions). You can get the 'used rusty looking' version (which takes more effort to create) or the new (which is what I liked in this instance).
    The Mopar magazine was very appealing to us as it was issued the month after our marriage (June 1977) plus we have visited this Utah site twice during our travels.

    Regarding the can of "MOPAR Combustion Chamber Conditioner"

    NC20RT - Way to go. I think you found the secret sauce to finally eliminate the infamous "hemi tick"!

    ^^^ Imagine throwing this stuff in a modern engine. I wonder what would happen.
    I also wonder what happens to the product itself after 50 years.
