I am getting ready to install a rebuilt fuel pump on my 1937 V/8. I am trying to decide what the best grease to use on the pump actuating arm. What are your thoughts.
Thanks, Steve

Isn't that pivot just lubricated with engine oil?  Whatever grease you use will be heated to engine operating temp and with the constant oil mist will just get washed away in time.  Personally, I would squirt some 30 wt on it and install.

Like Scott said.
I used some assembly lube. You can also use the thickest oil you have.
