Yes, you fill the cup. The owner's Manual for my '37 120 instructs to turn the grease cup 1 turn every 2000 miles, along with 1 drop of oil to the breaker arm pivot, a few drops on the wick under the rotor and a small amount of Vaseline on the breaker cam. The instructions on my 58 Pontiac were the same so they should apply to your 41 as well but you can find your manual on this site to verify.
So, the small hole I refer to is at the bottom of the funnel shaped fitting the cup screws onto. It can be removed using a 7/16" wrench. Clean it right out and be sure to go right through the small orifice that guides the grease into the bushing surface. Leave it empty and screw the full cup onto it until you see grease exiting the bottom hole. Then refasten it to the distributor and do the one turn to allow for the first application of new lubricant.
