Re: Tall ball joint recommendations?

ttt
did anybody confirm or know if the upper ball joints in the pre 73 a-arms are the same as the 73-87 series?
I had these same issues a couple years ago and ended up building custom mounts and lowered my inner bolts holding the A-arm in place to get the same affect.

They interchange but have different shaft joint diameters depending on the spindles (ex: you can install C30 upper BJ's into a C10 arm for a C30 spindle).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
