I just bought a 1976 Corvette with manual transmission and one of the first tasks on my to-do list is to make sure the car has grease in all the right spots.
Does anybody have a chart or list of all the grease point, so I don't miss any? Or do I just get under the car and lubricate at every grease point I can see?

I reccomend you find a haynes or even a (gag) chilton manual for your car.This is pretty standard stuff to find in a manual.

quick list from memory though

• upper and lower ball joints
• inner and outer tie rod ends
• idler arm @@
• power steering control valve ++
• pitman arm connection to relay rod ++
• driveshaft and half shaft u-joints ##

@@ I am pretty sure the factory idler arm had a lube point, most aftermarket heavy duty units I have seen do not
++ may or may not apply depending on optional equipment or aftermarket parts
## originally your u-joints would be solid joint and not have a grease fitting however that doesnt mean a previous owner couldnt have added them.

There are no lube fittings at the rear end at all

Thanks for the reply fauxrs.
I actually have both the haynes and the chilton manual, both have not been able to find the lube chart in either.
I'm wondering if I am reading it wrong, so maybe I should go back and look once again.
But thanks again.

Also the clutch cross shaft has a grease point on it.
