1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
SSBC Kelsey Hayes disks and a Ram Man Inc Booster/Master Cylinder.. I have a '73+ booster out for restoration and I rebuilt the MC but after reading about early A disk brakes it turns out the Ram Man system that I bought for the Duster and never used (went stock '73) was very close to what the Bendix systems looked like. They are also all painted black so that is what I did. This is about an OEM looking system I think one could hope for... The only thing is the 10" drum spindles you have to use have a different offset/caster/camber and the wheels are pushed forward now just enough I can't turn to full lock without catching on the fender.... always something... not sure how to fix this.. The last time getting the alignment pulled them back just far enough with the 9" drums.. I am out of adjustment... Oh, they will put you through the windshield with virtual no effort at all now....
Should these 10" spindle changes the alignment that much?
