How deeply are you going into working on this car?
Do you plan to do suspension work, brake work, etc?
I ALWAYS use 3/8" drive sockets and they are sturdy enough for about 99% of what I do. A ¼" drive set with a BIG screwdriver handle is handy too.
Axle nuts are 1¼", oil drain plug is 1" - box wrenches are good for that.
The camshaft nut is 1 7/16" but I usually use a 15" Crescent wrench for that.
Be sure that any screwdrivers you get are good quality and big. The screwdriver blade should
be big enough that it barely goes into the slot and fits snug, so you need several sizes.
If you are going to do work on DRUM brakes (I forget if a 69 has disks or drums in back) you will need
a husky drum puller that attaches to at least 3 lug bolts.
Good hammers (NOT Claw!) up to 3# are a big help. Using a hammer that is too small is usually a waste of time.
