The distributor grease cup is often a very neglected service operation .

Some don't even know what it is , your distributor will reward you with

longer life if you perform the needed service it requires .

Unscrew the cap & clean out the old caked & baked grease out of the cap

Refill with fresh grease .

If the spring & plug are there ,

You can remove the spring & plug and clean out

that area of the grease cup .

Clean the spring & plug & put them back into the fitting.

Tighten the cap until the fresh grease starts to come out of the end of the fitting .

Re-install the grease cup into the distributor .

After installing , screw the cap down one turn so grease gets to the shaft bushing .
