The one on the distributor shaft has a hole on the back side opposite the fitting. On that one when you see grease coming out that hole, you have enough. That one will put grease in the distributor if you go too much.

The distributor housing has a groove to allow the grease to go around the outside of the bushing and any excess is expelled out the hole in the back. It uses an oilite bushing where grease is absorbed into the bushing material to lube the shaft.
Over greasing the front zerk will force grease along the distributor shaft on the inside of the distributor bushing.
