Eureka! I found it. Thanks for those pics. Found them on the second page and just found it on my truck. What a lame design!
Having never used a "needle" adaptor for a grease gun, please help me out. How the heck do you get grease into the fitting? Do you just push the adaptor up there firmly and pump the handle? Seems like most of the grease will coume out of the gun and just ooze all over rather than making its way into the fitting. I guess I just have a hard time understanding how that little fitting allows grease inside.
And you guys were right, the link I posted is not the right needle adaptor. I'll have to pick up one of the other ones at Napa. Do any of those adaptors posted work any better than the others? There is a Napa right down the street but I'd rather not have to make multiple trips back and forth to the store. Has anyone successfully used one of those exact adaptors from Napa? Which one?
Thanks. You guys have great info for a noobie.

There will be a little spring loaded ball in the middle of the fitting of the uiversal, the idea is the grease will push by the ball into the joint.
