1980 Corvette Steering Box Lube Question

I am going to check my steering box for lube. If needed, do these steering boxes take thick oil or grease? Can you give me details on what to use and where to buy? Thanks! Don

Use a good grade of lithium based chassis grease.
Do not overfill. You want some air space left in the housing to provide for thermal expansion.
