Before you attach it to your camera you must check the trigger voltage first, never use an old flash unit until you check the trigger voltage with a multimeter, most old flash units have a huge trigger voltage that will damage your camera.
Very simple to check the voltage on that Sunpak 622, turn on your volt meter and set it to about 200 volts DC, turn on your Sunpak flash and apply the RED lead to the bottom contact, apply the Black lead to the side of the hot shoe and look for the ground, usually a small metal piece on the side. Now look at the meter, if it shows a voltage of 6 volts or less then it is safe to use on your camera, if voltage is higher, say 12 volts or more, don't use it. A high trigger voltage will certainly mess up your camera in the long run. Even if it has a safe voltage of 6 volts or less, you will only be able to use that flash in Manual Mode, the newer cameras will not sync or recognize an old flash unit.
I have an old Vivitar flash unit that I can safely use on my Canon XTI because the old vivitar has a trigger voltage of 5 volts, safe for all newer digital cameras.

Changing heads How does the 622 flash change its heads

The flash heads just plug into the unit. You slide off the normal head and slide in a different one. The pins also code the GN changes so the display on the back are consistent with the head used.

Can I get parts for the Sunpak 622?

Tocad the Sunpak distributor in the US does still distribute one of the 622 series,so you might be able to get them repaired or get spare parts. Be aware the voltages and energies available in the flash capacitors are dangerous, so you have to have electronics knowledge/skills to work on them safely. There was an ebay seller who used to sell a scanned vewrsion of the service manual for the 622.

IS THE VOLTAGE FROM A SUNPAK 622 SUPER SAFE TO USE WITH A NIKON dD 70

I have read reports of this working. To be safe you can cover everything but the center pin with electrical tape, or you can buy surge protectors for flashes to protect your camera.

I have a sunpak 622

Sunpak does not offer dedicated (TTL) module to any digital cameras. The flash can only be used in auto mode, while the camera is set to full manual. The lens has to be stopped down according the working aperture on the flash, correct exposure will be maintained by the built-in sensor of the flash. Fire the flash using a simple hotshoe-to-PC cube if your camera doesn't sport a PC connector. Trigger voltage of the 622 is safe.
