Speedometer Lube

I read not to use grease for lube...I am thinking to use graphite or silicone maybe. If graphite is recommended do you use spray or powered graphite ??? What lube is the best ???

There is a listing for it in this 1972 shop manual. I have no idea what the ford spec number translates to. On the ford part number, B5AZ-19581-A, here is a link
https://cgfordparts.com/ufolder/ford...er=B5A-19581-A. Probably anything that doesnt attract dirt is better than nothing.
