Kat,
A standard grease gun will do. The grease points that I can remember from
off the top of my head are as follows;

1. Sliding pillars (one on each side)
2. Tie rod ends (one each side)
3. Clutch and brake pedal pivot points
4. Clutch release cylinder at the top of the bell housing (from inside the
car)
5. Universal joints (2 - removed tunnel cover to access), sliding spline on
drive shaft
6. Rear axle outer bearings

The oil filler for the Moss gearbox is accessed from the inside of the car
on the left rear of the tunnel. There should be a flap on the cover for
access. You should find a dipstick at this point, so you can check the level
and fill at  this hole. Also the manual calls for 30W oil, but I use
synthetic 80/90W and find that works best for me. 

I would also recommend getting a workshop manual, Morgan Spares carries them
and it calls out all the specs for lubricants and it also has a lube chart. 

Regards and good luck,
Phil Roettjer
