I've run points with felt, grease and both but not enough miles in memory to say what method works better. It is more of "inspect, it dry, put something on it at regular intervals" than anything else.

Yes, I usually put a small blob on the cam then crank the engine, the grease will make its way to the arm and pack behind it.
