Zerk fittings replaced Alemite fittings on almost all makes by 1934. Alemite is old school for grease fitting.

I just checked angles on our '60. I removed the D.S. and found a piece of pipe that just fit the U-joint recess of the pinion yoke, Turned the yoke to the vertical position and that gave me a true vertical surface to place my angle finder
