I believe the 772 is as big as you're gonna get in a screw in upper.

i was told streetstock guys used to use a bigger shafted balljoint for strength ,

Speedway has a listing for reamed metric spindles but no part #s , for a bigger ball joint .

Yeah but, the 772 is the bigger one. It's bigger than stock. Sounds like they may have been over reamed.

It crosses over to a 83 - 89 Chrysler Fifth Ave. Lower Ball joint. I believe it's just a little smaller than the 727. What was on the car when you got it from Phil??

Good news everyone , k719 works like a charm , this is a # for the garage wall for sure , if you over riem your spindle this screew in ball joint will work. Dirttrack when i bought it from Phil it had diferent spindles and lower control arms , so its nothing on that end , i gues you could say i reinvented the wheel on this one . This has been a huge learning exsperience for me , and may i add quite an interesting one .Thanks for the help RSW
