Brazilian Dodge Dart 76 (similar to 69 usa)

Hi, thanks for your message

the power steering box is completely different.. it bring us a little problem.. the joint from steering box to the steering bar is about 1/2 inch bigger (diameter).. thus, it is closer to the exhaust header..

in the 70's, lot of alternators and starters where made only by one or two factorys to all car factorys.. thus, brazilian mopars, gm and ford have some parts in common. For example, the GM 10 bolt rear axle that differs only the axle and rear ends (different bolt sizes for each car for example).

Moreover, the chrysler in brazil has a crazy history. When it came to brazil, it took the Simca (French I think) factory line here.. they used some pre installed machines.. then, we have some particularities. For example, brake system came from Simca.. the same to the bolt patterns.. thus.. We can not use somo pretties US wheels as Cragars (but I know how to re-drill it :D )

The above statment also responds to your final question.. but just with one little correction.. brake rotors have 2 sets of drills with the same pattern because it is bolted to the hub.. take a look to the draw I attached
