I thought that I was missing my jack all this time.  It was under the plastic rear compartment.  Mine looks to be relatively sturdy for a scissor jack.  Never liked them anyway.  Did the make better ones later?

The jack is handy if you have a flat with no service near by.
I have never used the jack, but I'll keep it.
The spare tire is original, so I hope I never need to use it.
That's why I have AAA.

Spare Tire what is that? Beer
Who needs one aren't the tires runflats?   Wacko   
Where is it located anyway under the hood?  Sick

In CA we have good roads and no one ever needs a spare anyway!  Clown

I have AAA therefore have no need to know.  It keeps my head free of unnecessary information.  OK Ebo say something I know you want too.Thumbs Up

A lil advise to those who have finally found the jack that has been stashed away for 30 years. Be sure to take it out and lube it once and a while. When I needed mine (long story) I took it out and it was so rusted up I couldn't break the threads loose. Brian ( redwing) was with me, so we took his out of his 73. With both of us holding and twisting it finally broke loose. Just a lil PM once and a while helps.

I will add this though...our cars have very little extra room, I have a few tools wrapped in some shop towels down in that area. Also a spare Alt belt, it's a great place for some emergency stuff.
