no, at least not to my knowledge. i *think* i know what you're talking about, but post a pic to remove any doubt.

the right BBP disc OEM stuff? cuz if so that's easy-peasy lemon sqeezey. (i'm happy to help, i'm in LA, shoot me a PM) if you're still on the drum line, this might work for you https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/inventory/sun-valley-1263/1968-dodge-coronet/

i think factory center register BBP is 2.8? only a concern if he wants to run factory rims, i guess. most aftermarket stuff is well wider. ETA: just for edification, 2.80~2.85 is what i got

question: is that hub *technically* ford "BBP" with the larger center register? i vaguely recall this discussion in the not so distant past... i do know *somebody* makes a disc kit for the sbp spindle that has bbp. and whether that's a dual pattern on a hub and hat or as a disc i don't remember.

lower ball joint and bolts. big upper ball joint-- so either 73~76 arms or adapters for the small joint earlier arms. naturally all the junk too-- spindle, hub, backing plate, drum. same as a disc conversion only the other way around with drum things and stuffs. you might be able to make it...

was the car originally power or single pot master? what i'm getting at is that if you're using the original push rod that may be part of the problem. you likely need an adjustable push rod, one that is machined for the retainer. i like this one...

power or manual brakes? if power, was it originally power and you're using stock components? or is it an aftermarket set up?

yes, they did make a 10" drum for 73~76. however it is small bolt pattern AND it requires a different spindle, which is the same as the disc spindle in the attachment of the upper ball joint so you need UCA's or the adapter sleeve. back to square one of having to source parts that are NLA, and...

oh, i understand completely. to me the planned upgrade to a dual pot is a must no matter which braking choice to make. if you stick with factory bits, the upgrade is really not all that involved. the parts are out there, and you can put together the correct combo of components pretty...

there is also adapters for the upper ball joint taper to take them from small joint to large joint. so you don't *need* later arms, but if you they're in poor shape and the bushings & joints need replaced it's more economical to go to the later arm.

yes. common upgrade.

they never made BBP front drums for a bodies. if you wanted bigger drums, some cars came with 10" brakes vs the 9's which would entail grabbing a whole spindle set up. which gives you okay stopping power and a parts supply that is rapidly drying up. i mean, the consumables are still available...

most any 15" should clear without issue, it's the 14" units that are kind of a coin flip.

this is probably the best answer. bringing up the ride height and a slightly shorter tire will probably keep you out of trouble, even better if you have some stiff bars to limit the travel. on my 69 i'm at 26" with the 73~76 parts and quite low. i'm clear of the fenders except at the center of...

yeah, i'd say try the power stops and then reevaluate where you are. you should still be able to lock the fronts up though. the rear discs should be enough to haul down that tire too. and those pressures seem in line with what would be considered an acceptable range. is there any peripheral...

the first thing that jumps out to me is that you can't lock 'em up. i'll be at the front of the line to say that i don't care for the ssbc systems, but that should provide adequate braking and at least lock up a little bit. did you properly bed in the pads? if not, it's certainly possible that...

after the description of the brake actuation to pedal movement, i'm gonna take a WAVSG* that the booster is bunk. just cuz it's new, doesn't mean it's any good. (*Wild *** Very Scientific Guess)

i'll roll some dice and say that it's probably the master. i'm guessing you bought one of those "universal" ones they sell that's based on the corvette master and the bias is all wrong. or as mentioned up thread you may have a drum/drum master

the piston diameter isn't going to to contribute to "touchy brakes", at least not in the sizes commonly available that fit our cars.

explain, in detail, "hard to stop". leave nothing out. has anything been changed or modified: manual to power brakes, pedal, etx. is the master cylinder correct for the application. you're this far in, i'd replace the soft hoses and the distro blocks. if it's 69 you should the one with a...

andy, two questions: is that a swaybar off the strutrod?!? and how do you like those eddy shocks?

when you're done dirty by the treachery of a scumbag one never forgets... dude probably has six fingers on his right hand.

order from whoever you need to order other stuff from so you can justify having to splash $12.99 on shipping a $3 part just don't be a villain and get a MC from the parts store and swipe the retainer and then return it!

i just went thru this with another project and found the dorman website to be more helpful than the know-nothing counter jockeys around here. here's a link https://www.dormanproducts.com/gsearch.aspx?year=1972&make=Plymouth&model=Duster&origin=YMM&parttype=Wheel%2520Lug%2520Stud

i think part of the issue is stemming from the variance in nomenclature and colloquial descriptions regarding brakes. for instance, a 72 8 3/4 uses a 10x2 drum, but the shoes are 1.75 and a 7.25 that uses 9" brakes would measure 9x2.25 and take a 2" shoe (technically the friction surface of...

BOSCH BS331 10X1.75 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7543344&cc=1088445&pt=1688&jsn=616

i *think* i know what may have happened... need to investamagte a little more and review the pics to verify. but i think somewhere along the line the brakes OR the axle got a switch-a-roo-- like an early axle housing with brakes got put in and they switched the axles shafts and drums out to...

wut?

it should be something that's dead simple. it's BBP 7.25 (are you sure it's 5X4.5 pattern) so it should be a slam dunk. even if rock sent the wrong parts, or the wrong stuff is on there all the right junk exists out there. it might be pain, but the path forward could be just rolling to the...
