Dear Edgar,
Good luck with the Project!
For determining capacities on your 1600, you can check Fred Katz's most
helpful WEB posting of the '68 owner's manual. Go to his page at
http://www.2xtreme.net/fredkatz/manual2.html
After several weeks' use, I continue to be delighted with the two Red Line
gear oils: MTL for the tranny and Shock Proof for the differential. I
guess I'm lucky to have tight seals!
I know of 19 grease fittings at the front end:
8 at each wheel (including all the upper and lower arm controls);
2 for the front tie-rod;
and the odd one out is for the idler-box (on the passenger side).
The last three are easy to access from the front.
Best,
Teddy
