Only one question -- what is the proper lead alloy? is that 63/37 or 60/40 or something else? I thought I had written it somewhere, but ...???

I'm perusing the autobodyrestoration yahoo group to see if there is something there (I expect so) and I think it should be 63/37 (that is the eutectic alloy IIRC).
