Some folks are using the little gun that came with the car but I am wondering if there is a better way. The original gun holds not-so-much lubricant and is somewhat of a pain to fill. Also apparently the gun was designed for some type of semi-liquid lubricant not in general use today, and not designed for mere cup grease or the like.
'better way', yes, IMO !
I purchased a vendor supplied adaptor for the end of hose on my pneumatic powered Sears grease gun. I can lube the 'old time' ford zerks and then replace the end with modern end and continue to lube any modern zerks in my Model A. I have a combination of both, and have a goal of making all zerks modern. Just my choice, eh
