I'm not sure they had NoOx back in the 60's. It is a tube of a grease like stuff that help reduce the oxidation. If your wires do not have that on them, you should put it on.
Bottom line, no electrician I ever talked to likes aluminum wire. It was cheaper than copper. It is not as good a conductor as coper. Other than cost, it has no advantage for electrical wire use.
