Grease for pedal shaft?

[Phantom440]

Hey all, I hope you're doing well!
I'm slowly working my way through converting the Coronet from a 904 to an 833. Began the pedal swap last weekend. Got the previous (short) pedal shaft out, dropped the bigger automatic brake pedal.
Then realized the previous pedal shaft was covered in this thick grease, and I assume I need to put a similar grease on the new pedal shaft. Is there a particular brand or type you recommend?
Also; there's the support that goes on the outer side of the firewall to bolt the additional brace to- kind of a dogbone looking piece with a stud on either end. Do I need to add any kind of sealant around these holes to prevent water getting in there?
Thank you!
(And I apologize if this has already been answered- I tried to search the forums and found questions related to greasing the Z-bar and pivot hardware under the car- nothing specifically about the pedal assembly.)
(Also, I'm going the diaphragm route, so there's no overcenter spring doghouse)

I would think some ‘lubriplate’ or some synthetic grease would be fine. You could be/probably seeing old grease that’s reacting to the elements/air.

Wheel bearing grease....

I understand that SuperLube is the Mopar spec'd substitute for most of the originally greased parts like this.

White lithium grease would be my choice and not the spray can stuff eather.

Thank you all for your answers! I got it in last weekend and it's working great!

You got the whole trans swapped?

Oh no! Just the pedals at this point. The whole floorpan under the pedals as well as the rear part of the subframe that runs under that toward the torsion bar crossmember needs to be replaced. The subframe was cut out and replaced prior to my buying it, but the welds look terrible. I'm hoping I can reuse that patch and just have it welded in properly.
I've got a new AMD floor pan (driver's side- the passenger side in the car is immaculate), as well as the bench seat tunnel hump I need to get welded in. First I need to pull the engine and some wiring so I can get the clutch pivot bracket welded in; unless you guys think that can be done with the engine/wiring in the car? Then either put the 318 back in and attach the 4-speed to that, and drive it around as I save up for a big block... or save up for a 440, put the 4 speed onto that, and drop it all in at once.
