Anyway ... Howe makes these new lower ball joint housings that fit in 67-69 F-body & '64-'72 A-Body lower control arms ... that fit a much larger, beefier, ball joint stud. I assembled the housings with the correct height stud ... adjusted for zero friction ... and sent them with the total package. When Dale got back from his trip & went to install them ... they slipped right into the LCA ball joint opening with no press fit.

That sounds just like something that would happen to Lance... Try to do something simple to make something better than it was originally and it turns into a clustermess.
Glad the fix wasn't too cumbersome. Can't wait to see this project come together.
