    Which size drums on 69 Dart? And some other brake questions.

    I was looking at the master cylinders. Apparently the 69 Dart had a master cylinder with a 1" bore. I find the Dr. Diff aluminum master cylinderes appealing. But they only come with either the 15/16" or the 1 1/32" bore. How different would those be from the correct 1" bore? To be honest, I...

    Which size drums on 69 Dart? And some other brake questions.

    Well, I've temporarily put on hold replacing the wheel cylinders, because I injured my ribs twisting around and lying on the concrete garage floor, during my five hour struggle to remove the rear left drum.

    Which size drums on 69 Dart? And some other brake questions.

    My mother is the original owner of the car, so I amazingly do actually know that the drums were never upgraded. But yeah, I guess I should measure them. Yeah, I put the wheels back on so I could put the car back in the garage overnight. I don't know why I didn't think to measure them before...

    Which size drums on 69 Dart? And some other brake questions.

    I have a 1969 Dart with a 225 slant six (I think it's the 225, it's stamped 28068302 on the block). I need to replace the cylinders in the rear drums, which are both leaking. It seems like in oder to get the correct cylinder, I need to know what size drums I have. My Haynes manual says that...
