Took the front 10 inch drum brakes, backing plates, shoes, drums, hoses, ( minus the hubs) to a swap meet, guy was wondering if they would fit a 66 a-body, they are off of a 67 Dart. Told him that my understanding was that it would bolt on 10 drum spindles, but not 9 inch drum spindles. Told...

I have an 8 1/4 rear out of a Volare, will the brake parts(backing plates, drums, etc.) interchange with an a-body 8 1/4? What about the gears? If so all I would need would be the axles and housing correct? Thanks Aaron

I am doing the scarebird disc brake kit, replaced the one piece line to the rear with a 2 piece line and installed a right stuff adjustable prop valve, if feels like I am getting a little seepage (leak) where the brass fitting goes into the prop valve, the fitting screwed in tight against the...

I have a question on adjustable proportioning valves, can they be mounted in any direction(with knob facing down)? Thanks

I got a scarebird front brake kit and have all the parts I need coming. My question is at least one hub has a couple of the lug studs welded in. Should I just replace both hubs or have the studs and weld machined off and pressed out and replaced. To me since they were welded in indicates that...

Been thinking (obsessing)over what to do for a disc brake conversion on my 67 Dart (10 drums). Right now it is between the scarebird kit or 73 and up. Couple questions on scarebird, are the parts easily and redily available? Did a disc brake kit on a 51 Plymouth (think it was a Ply-do kit)...

I have one front drum that the spring around the outside came off of. I there a way to put it back on, or do I just toss it. Aaron

Have a new master cylinder and have a few questions. The new master cylinder is Cardone 13-1323M, it has a different lid than both of the previous master cylinders did, the previous master cylinders had what I could best describe as double hump lids, with a single bolt and a spreader bar (m...

Have all new lines, except rear end line(which I may replace if I have too much trouble), going to replace all wheel cylinders and brake hoses. My qyestion is the master cylinder it was replaced about five years before I tore the car down (2-3 years ago). When I removed the master cylinder I...

Was lurking around CL and found this somewhat local to me, and wondered if this was a good price? I know it is hard to tell from the description. http://omaha.craigslist.org/pts/3524189514.html I have emailed them to find out what all is included. I assume this is the Kelsy Hayes brakes...

Where do these lines go? my car is about a half hour away, so its hard to check. http://www.getdiscbrakes.com/yfb6710 Do the lines from the Right Stuff generally need a little tweaking or are the right on. Just comparing mine to the old ones I have here in my garage (master cylinder to prop...

Are there two different styles of front brake lines (steel from prop valve to wheels)used in 67. I went to order the set and The Right Stuff lists 2 different sets ykt6701 and rkt6701, RKT6701 says soemthing about a rise over the bellhousing. Thanks Aaron

I am getting ready to order new brake lines and I want to replace the lines that run between the wheel cylinders. How do I determine what size brakes I have. I have the front suspension with brakes at home but the car(with fender tag is about 30 miles away). It is a 67 Dart GT Convertible, 273...

Are rear drums on 1964 A-bodies pressed on, seems like I read that somewhere but can't remember. The reason I ask is I have a puller that I bought when I had my 51 plymouth, and thought that I might throw it in the for sale section.

After sitting in storage for about 3 years, I stepped on the brake pedal and it went to the floor. The brakes where ok when I put it in storage(at that time the master cylinder was only a few years old. Is there any problems I should look for or was it just air in the system? I am replacing...

I am thinking of replacing the steel brake lines when I redo the firewall, and am wondering who offers the best reproduction lines.
