Everything I've read and seen says phosphate and oil. Same for the hood latch and the upper shock mounting plates. I believe the washer on the top of the shock is also but I can't say so with certainty. Perhaps someone can confirm or correct me. I do not want to be spreading erroneous information. Accurate information for these cars seems to be hard to obtain.

Same??? for the hood hinges and springs or the latch items?

You might want to reask the question in the 69-70 section or search there first ;)
