I get the 30 wt non-det at my local Kragen store - their house brand - I
don't know who actually makes it for them.

So, who sells 30wt non-detergent oil these days? The local auto parts
suppliers I've checked with have mostly a "don't have, don't know, don't
care"
attitude because it's a low/no demand product. Even the cheap generic
brands
they carry have detergent now. It would help to know names of some companies
that are still producing non-detergent motor oils. An earlier input mentioned
BP, but haven't found them carried retail in this part of the U.S. (Texas).
I and, most likely, others on the list would appreciate any suggestions on
where to look and/or brands to ask for.
