I have to agree with Hoss on the size of the nipples ...all the nipples on cars are the same size nipples. And as far as nipples I have only seen one size nipple no matter if the nipple was on a tractor or the nipple was on a piece of equipment in our shop. I wish they made nipples of different sizes but then ir seems like all greese guns have the same size fitting to fit onle one size nipple. Nipples I just had to type it one more time....nipples

no ,, i think even the thread size is the same on 90 % of all cars made .. just ask your parts guy to show you some .. the threads will be about a 1/4 inch round or less and will be tapered ..

What you need is offered from most Mustang suppliers. Here's the link to a kit from CJ Pony Parts as an example:

Good luck!
