Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this site, braking system done!!! I put drums, cylinders, proportioning valve, new break lines, master cylinder, power booster and line locks and pads shoes and calipers. I went into this as my first project with absolutely no knowledge, you guys answered...

I think that I should have a professional do the lines and check everything out. I am just wanting to know that my work is proper and safe.

ok, new drums and cylinders are on, front calipers, hoses and pads, and booster/master cylinder combo. I want to run all new brake lines while I am at it. My problem is that I don't know how I will be able to run brake lines with the low clearance of jack stands. Would it be frowned upon to have...

thanks. Should i replace wheel cylinder in the rear drums while i am at it?

I just received the new calipers, they came without the "bracket"(not sure if correct terminology!) I tried ordering them today, they said that they do not carry them. If you can tell by the photos, will these be ok to use? They have tiny divots where they slide. How tight should the bolts on...

i found them for a 73 duster with 10" drums. Are they the same on both sides? will these work?

Alright, ordered front calipers, booster and cylinder and pads all the way around. Need some help with the rear drums. When i measured the drums they were 10", i go to order them under 71 dodge dart, no luck. Do you think these drum are from a 73 duster like the front discs? Help please!

tahnks guys! I will order everything today! Wasn't sure which size shoes to order, guess i just measure the drum right? Thanks again! Can't wait to finally drive it!

autozone has calipers for a 73 duster for 30 bucks a piece, should i get them?

ok, changed the front pads, the wear is one sided only. The outer pads are worn twice as much as the inner. I am assuming that the piston is in need of some work. Found my idle and braking problem, bad booster, when plugged the motor runs smooth as silk. Anyways, is it hard to rebuild the piston...

thanks sg, just ordered it, little more expensive than the others, but will fit nicely!

still on the fence about the booster , i really want a smaller one. Does anyone have experience putting a smaller, lets say 7" booster?

george, after work i am going to make the rounds, i will pm you with the results.

I found that I have a leak in the p brake booster. I am ordering a 7" dual diaphram cylinder combo from jegs. Is there anything i should know before ordering? Do i need an adaptor or anything to make it fit? Also i want to get pads and shoes, i just don't know what pads to get. It has front disc...

alright, cool, thanks for breaking it down! I looked for a book, found the haynes but it says that it is a book for six cylinders only, no v8. I think it was for a valient too? I will keep looking around. Also just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped me, i'd be lost without all the...

i have no idea what or where the adjuster valve is, I will do a little research and try it.

i am going to check the brake pads after work, thanks guys!

cool, i will try it now, thanks!

replaced the hoses and flushed the system, good to go!

thanks for everyones help! Bled the brakes, i simply couldn't believe how much air came out! Now i understand why air can render brakes useless! The only thing now is that the brakes stop the car but in a panic, I don't know if they would do the trick. Any ideas? power brake booster? thanks again!
