I had one of those about 1970; right handy compared to filling a gun's metal
tube, which is all we had to that time.  Bill in Oregon

The steering rack takes 90 wt gear oil, not the same as the differential oil
is my understanding.  The Factory Service Manual says to use "10 strokes"
and I am not going to touch that instruction.  Just do not use to much oil,
if you can detect oil in the steering boots that is to much.  Some years ago
found a oil gun and oil at a boat shop.  Photo below I hope.  The tape
measure is for reference only.

Additionally, there is only one grease zerk on the steering rack on the
passenger side. How do I get grease to the other end of the rack?
