The Ford Barn

another newbie questions. (I do appreciate all the advice and patience you guys have with me)

My A has been sitting for a little over 20 years. When my grandpa restored it I'm certain he used a non-detergent oil in the car. I'm certain there is probably sludge build up in the oil pan from sitting all this time. I've gotten mixed information as to how to clean this out. I've heard drop the pan, remove the baffle and scrap out the old sludge. I've also heard people say add MMO to the oil and run it a little and it will clean itself out and to only drop the pan if I absolutely have to.

What is the general opinion of the barn?
