The following may be of interest to those doing  restorations.
John Logan
 
Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants  for break out torque on 
rusted nuts.  They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants 
with the control being the torque required  to remove the nut from a 
"scientifically rusted" environment. The results  are as follows;   
Penetrating oil..... Average  load 
None ..................... 516  pounds 
WD-40 .................. 238  pounds 
PB Blaster ............. 214  pounds 
Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds 
Kano Kroil ............ 106  pounds 
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds 
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission 
fluid and acetone.
