    That was a great video Mortske and well worth waiting for. I really like how to one's. I have done most of what you did today. Funny you mentioned a pressure washer. Last night for some reason remembering I still had a pressure washer this morning I got it out. It had not been used for years. Put some gas in it, hooked up the hose and it fired right up. I washed off everything in sight. Duff sure seemed to enjoy the longer video. I know I did. Thanks.

There's novice repair guys, and then there's (Mortski) experienced. You SHOW the damaged part, or problem being addressed. Some repair guys stop the camera; you don't. That Duff is so enthusiastic, it boggles the mind. Happy dog; always sitting around. Loves the attention.

    Pop the cap on the distributor and blow all that water in the bottom of the distributor base where the bushing is as they sure love to hold a quart of water in a once reservoir. I know its a nasty job and how does it seem to get there. I loved the heck out of that years and 72 was my most favorite one. At seventy three, I wouldn't drive it enough to keep the battery charged. Great job Mortske.... I am thinking that you probably did blow all the water out but why is it so hard to get it all out.... I almost drilled a drain hole in the ones I had to get it all out.... even a hair dryer doesn't work all that well cause it goes to steam and back to water later.

      @@demportboy1584 I agree with that concept 95% of the time. I was concerned about the long bolt interfering with the moving parts on the ball joint however. On the top side there's nothing moving. Also, lock washers are not effective and should be thrown in the trash. Lots of studies have been done on this. Look at any car built after the 1980s and you'll rarely find a lock washer on a bolt.
