Distributor replacement and lubrication - Venn - 04-09-2021

I have recently had my dynamo refurbished professionally and refitted it today.  When I refit the distributor, should I lubricate the drive pinion and worm on the distributor and dynamo and if so with grease or oil?  I can't find any advice on this and the lubrication charts do not mention it.
Thank you for you expertise.

Th cavity surrounding the gears driving the distributor should be filled with a good lithium grease.
