The later cars have sealed 'lubed-for-life' joints -- I well remember that there were a LOT of points that had to be greased on my '63 GT-850, but my present '74 Sonett has only ONE grease fitting, on the steering rack. I wonder if the reason your driver's side lower BJ has one is that at some point it was replaced with one from an older car...?
I've seen kits you can buy that let you drill out and add Zerk fittings to sealed balljoints, but if the stock joint is still OK I don't think it would be worth the bother. And if it's not OK you should probably replace it, not just grease it!
