For the speedometer, 2 drops of 10w oil in the hole behind the cable drive connection every 10,000 miles. Most speedos probably have never had this done and is one of the reasons speedo needles will start jerking and things eventually destruct .
On the speedometer cable, in the 51-4 manual Packard recommended chassis grease at 30,000 miles .
As I recall, it was recommended by most mfg to apply lube to the lower 2/3 of cable and then insert cable into housing so the majority would be carried or pushed down. The top third would have enough of a coating but excess would not be prone to working out and get into speedometer.
