When I had my 74, It had the trunk release and the release button where you described. I just thought the previous owner installed it.
I no longer have the car so can't take pics, sorry
Keep in mind the only pictures of the rear of the /6 I could find were for the old 61 aluminum blocks so I cant be absolutely positive there is not a frost plug on the steel cast blocks.
well I could not find a pic of the rear of the slant six, here is a pic of the front.
as you can see the cam sprocket, you should be able to easily locate the rear plug.

Although not the best diagram below... the thrust angle is the alignment of the rear axle.
It can be corrected by using shims between the front mounting point of the leaf spring mount to the frame of the car.
well on the two ends of the drag link I've found one end has the word 'GEAR' for the steering pitman arm and the other end has the numbers '258'
You have in your last picture the pitman arm. My pitman arm has the numbers (or what I can make them out to be) 2835873 but could be 878 or 373 or 378...
Its a stinky job to be done outside but simply burn out the rubber out and the pivot shaft comes out either end. I've done this a few times. If your using the poly bushing you must leave the metal shells in the control arms anyway. Clean out the shells thoroughly and use the poly grease when...
