One of my problems is I have to get up to speed on the front end parts, what they look like and how they work. The other larger problem is that I may have a mix of several parts from who knows where and possibly the wrong parts mixed in the causing the problems. Last Saturday I spent 2 and a half hours at a local junk yard, that has older cars in it to get up to speed and look for parts. I 've always enjoyed that. I did find a 1974 Dodge Dart 318 with power disc brakes, as a donor car for some parts, but the car was pretty beat and parts weathered. And I did find a mid 60s Barracuda with the same lower control arm as mine, with the sway bar attached to the outer control arm as in my picture. I did find several other disc brake donor cars, but they were already stripped of their control arms, knuckles, and disc brakes. What I know about my car so far is the brakes are at least 11", 5 on 4.5" studs, they are rear mounted rather than front, and they are single piston type. The knuckles look similiar to 68-70 B body, but not like my 71 Road Runner drum brake type. I plan to replace all the ball joints, upper control arm bumpers, and shocks, as soon as I can confirm that I have all the right parts. I'm also working on a 8-3/4 posi 741 chunk 3.91 rear and wiring problems. Let me know if you recognize anything. Thanks guys....:read2:
