1968 Dart 270 NON-build
Progress! I've gotten everything on my checklist done, only to add more items I want to address. First up was the brakes/chassis. The leaking master cylinder and booster were replaced with MBM components that I pickup up from someone who had purchased them but never installed. Both are universal components with the brackets needed to adapt to the Dart. In fact the master is the same as my '76 Corvette. I also picked up a disc brake conversion kit (also made by MBM). It was advertised as fitting early B-Bodies. To get it to fit my car I used a lower ball joint from a later BBP A-Body, as well as the Dr Diff upper ball joint spacer. I also had to fabricate a brake line from the master to the distribution block so I could install a proportioning valve. So far I'm happy with the brakes. They are a bit firmer than I expected, but I think it's because the master has a larger bore than stock.
