Please forgive me if this is redundant; my searching hasn't turned up a solid recommendation for a grease for this application.
I tried wheel bearing grease in the cup on my 19th series 120 (Autolite IGP Distributor). I wasn't happy with the performance of it; way to thin, and didn't last at all. I think I ran through a whole cup full in less than 100 miles.
Update: I forgot to add that the reason I had turned the cup so often was because it would develop a hint of a squeak, and after turning the squeak disappeared for a little while. I called lubriplate and they recommended their 630-A:
lubriplate.com/PDFs/PDS/3_5-630-Series.aspx Quote:
LUBRIPLATE No. 630-A is a heavy type NLGI No. 2.5 lubricant for applications requiring a cup type lubricant. Excellent for water pumps
Has anyone tried it? Maybe this is the grease we need? It looks like a promising solution, at a reasonable cost. The part number for the 14oz can is L0066-001.
Thanks,
Chad
