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??
