Default Suspension Grease Points

Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a resource that details where all the suspension grease fittings are on a 1970? I can't seem to find any documentation and would love to have an idea of where to look.
Thanks in advance!
Bob

Thank you again! I greased the front end today and what a difference. It was long overdue.

Next order of business is heater core. I've done some research on the forum and the posts range from "it took me two hours" to "I'd rather pass a kidney stone". It is an A/C car. Flyerj, do you know if the AC evaporator is inside the same box as the heater core?
Thanks again!

Evaporator is under the hood on the firewall. Heater core is inside. I have done both. Twice on the evaporator. I would say that I enjoy working on my car and would not call either job fun. But I don't consider either that difficult just time consuming. Frankly radiator replacement was worse.

Thank you very much! Any tips or advice on the job are greatly appreciated. Car is a 1970 ls5, is that makes a difference. Is there a thread on this site you referenced for instructions? I've found a couple but the have some gaps or seem to be a bit too easy (not removing any radio components, or disconnecting ducts, etc). Before I dig in I'd like to have a pretty clear idea of the hell I'm about to enter
Thank you again!
