D thingie - My 1970 didn't have this either
I put zerks in the upper ball joint (90 degrees) as well - don't know the
thread but it seemed to be standard since i got them from autozone
There were a coupl of other places with screws iso zerks - tie rod ends for
one - replaced them as well
Does anyone know the EXACT # of zerks on the car??
