Thanks to all on the jack question. In my youth, I used the jack once to
try it out. Didn't properly block the wheels, and, you guessed right, car
moved and dented the door and the jack panel. As for what year my jack is,
my 70 2000 didn't come with one when I bought it , I got this out of a
junkyard almost 20 years ago. Thanks again to all who replied!! I agree
it's worthless.

unless I am mistaken, the later cars (late 69 - 70) had a ratchet type jack
like you described.
