Each are located in the middle of the horseshoe bolt that attaches the springs to the axle housing on the rear of my 32. This fitting is straight and slightly wider than a zirk fitting with a ball on the flat end of the fitting. They also have two small pins (on on each side of the fitting. What is it? Does it take grease or rear end oil? Where can I find the adaptor for my grease gun? Thank You Paul Orednick

They are intended to use heavy oil. Alemite still has some of those fittings available. They are still used on industrial machinery to oil bushings/bearings. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
