Hi all - I'm new to antique vehicle ownership. I purchased a grease gun, but I believe I need to get a specific adapter to use it. Does anyone know what I would need for a 1924 Single Eight? I've attached a couple photos of the fitting.

While we are talking about grease, I believe I'm supposed to use 600W grease. I've also read there may be modern equivalents that work just as well and are more available and less costly. What grease would y'all recommend?

Thank you!

I believe you need a pin style fitting adapter on your gun. Here are a couple McMaster-Carr offers but theirs are for the professional heavy use operation. You might be able to find a cheaper home use version elsewhere -- maybe on ebay. Others will give better suggestions on the best modern grease to use.
