Ball joints,and wheel bearings as well.
Good luck.

Thanks all,

Things to do,also just started leaving oil spots in the garage,more than usual...

Update on this thread.
I took the advice of Alan and others and emptied my gas tank.
Then changed fuel filter,and oil change as well as the fuel filter access

Also changed plugs and refilled gas with about half a bottle of seafoam.
Running nicely for 52 yrs old

Great,
Thanks guys.
I will definitely go thru the fuel line,and replace fuel filter.

Has anyone bought repro panels for 65?
I just got some,look nice but haven't fitted yet,but it looks like the mirror toggle socket insert is
Out of correct location,I have toggle and bezel ring assy,and can't get it to go...
