May not be a good idea. I've read that changing to syn oil in an older car may result in oil leaks because the syn oil is less viscus and may seep thru the older, dryer gaskets.

Why would you waste the money for synthetic oil when you have an engine this old? I don't see any advantage as far as wear protection for this age engine.

I wouldn't do it at this point. It has excellent cleaning properties and can cause leaks at seals.
Besides, you've done fine without it.
