bell crank z-bar stud issue

[geiser]

well, again this is a brand new pivot ball and it will not thread into either of 2 engine blocks. I tried front and rear holes where the bracket attached. 1 1?2 threads.

threads on both engines and pivot ball look good (clean).

I guess i need to get a new pivot ball to be sure.

not a fine thread to be seen in all 4 holes and 1 pivot ball either.
this is why i thought it might be metric etc.

inline tube says its the right one.

going to napa to buy this tomorrow.
