I have some of that grease from a previous R&P install, but in a pinch I would use white lithium grease (out of a tub, not the spray stuff).

Try "prussian blue" sold by a bunch of auto supply outfits, stuff I have is a Permatex product, dark blue grease , been used as a transfer agent for years... I believe it's considerably cheaper than the Richmond stuff.

GM still makes the yellow paste, Ford has white, these work better then anything else. Visit you local GM dealer.
