Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

grease & zerit fittings
Did the spring oil change and was also giving it a grease job and have a few zerit fitting that will not take grease. I replaced them (the fittings ) but still will not take grease. I guess not much else I can do ?
any thoughts.

I had one of the zerk fittings clog up on the 81 some years ago and just left it.
They've been phased out as being more bad-than-good in newer cars...it's been determined that the newer grease used today is more abrasive and can actually cause damage as opposed to the old stuff.
Wouldn't worry about it at this time.

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.

Check the nozzle on your grease gun.....if the nozzle can't seal onto the grease zerk then it won't push grease in.
grease gun works on others you can see and hear it.
I replaced the bad ones thinking the pin may have stuck or full of crap.
And I tried to back it up some what. (not bottoming out when tightening the new zerit )
I will do what Jeff said and not worry about it.

I took zert out . Picked hole with drill looked to unblock crap . Then used a propane touch to heat knuckle . got it hot to touch and put Zert back in and still NO LUCK
Guy at work told me to try this . Seemed like a good idea.

Just out of curiosity, I did a google search on grease fittings. I always wondered why they were called Zerk fittings ............ ya learn something new every day!
I was looking for a cross section view or something. I figured they were just a simple ball and seat check valve type of thing.

Sometimes it helps to have a buddy turn the steering wheel while you try to shoot grease in them.
OK I will try that as soon as I find my grease gun.
Ya I lost it . How ? If i knew it would not be lost . God help me.
And I keep a clean garage. I must of threw it in the trash can on garbage day.
