First off, a '67 should have external springs covered by a rubber boot, and they should only be about 8" or so long.
Sounds like you've got some other type of fork, or, someone converted the originals to an internal spring setup. 50 weight oil would probably make it feel like there are no springs in it at all; your dentist would love you as the fillings would be jarred from your teeth.

Just the wisdom of a fool speaking: Jim
