PM Sent, I have backing plates and the hardware for the SBP. I do not have any drums.

Isnt it the main proportioning valve and not just for a failure warning light?

Hey thanks mullinax95, I will pull it apart and clean it up. I have a bench grinder from Sears, Is that all you used with a buffer wheel attached to it and compound? I will have to go to sears and see if they have the wheels/compound.

Hi Guys, I bought a prop valve from a 73-76 A-body car and was wondering what the best route in cleaning it would be? I never had one apart or even know if they can be taken apart without hurting them?? Sorry my pics are a little fuzzy at close range. I guess my questions are, can this be...

Thank you guys, I appreciate your replies...

Sorry, he did not send me any pictures of the calipers..Just what you see here. The seller also told me that these rotors and calipers were only 8 months old, taken off a show car and replaced with an aftermarket setup....*Yikes* Looks a bit older then that to me..... :angry7:

One more.....????

Another picture of brakes

Not the best of pics but...I was told 73-76 A-body, large bolt pattern but they just dont look right,I could be wrong??....

like this? this is the 73-76 A-body valve though.....

same here, user of dot 5 and no problems or issues. Good pedal and great stopping. I would do it again as well.

Maybe I missed something above in your posts on what exactly your using? But from experience the small bolt pattern backing plates (if thats what you are still using) have a different offset then the large bolt pattern backing plates (needed for large bolt pattern drums). So when you go to mount...

If using the Yukon axles, they are considered large bolt pattern and you NEED to get the correct backing plates, drums and hardware for them to work properly. Just about any 1965 and newer (up to early 1980's I believe) as long as they are 10x2.5" or the large 11" they will work. Look for any...

If he does not have what you need, let me know. I have a complete set of internals for the 11" all bead blasted, primered and painted. Ready for assembly. :cheers:

Hows about trying here?? http://www.piratejack.net/proportioning_valves.html

yep, they are all different!

Thats IT!!!! Thanks man! Hey, I put those Upper A-arms on my car (the ones you sold me) Worked like a charm!!! Thanks.

Thanks, I found the green one above, and thats what made me want to search for the "red" one I posted. I wanted to see if everything matched up. I just plumbed my car like the red one but lost the info on what went where....Im hoping it was the same info in both posts......anyone save that??

Someone posted this picture a month or so ago and had a diagram where the brake lines went. Just searched for it but came up empty....anyone remember this post?? Where did it go??

I got my backing plates and drums, etc off a 79 Volare with a 7 1/4 rear. Large bolt pattern. Purchased new Yukon axles and it all bolted up to my A-body 8 3/4 with no problems. No drilling.

I may be wrong but I dont think Dusters came with the 10x 2.5" brakes??...Go look up parts for a 1979 Plymouth Volare, those indeed had the 10"x2.5" brakes. Thats what I used.

I found a pic of my small bolt pattern rear backing plates...does yours have the five bolt holes in the center? Bad pic, but it will work!

Ummmmmmmmmmm????????.......Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????? Yes, sounds like a backing plate but could be anything really....Gotta see it man, sorry. Maybe someone else can chime in?.....

Maybe you can post a pic on what you have? We can have a look and try and help you out.

If they are front backing plates your installing on the rear, do they have the provisions on them for the E-brakes to come through?? I honestly dont think you can use fronts on rears...holddowns etc all have different #'s. Sorry to say but you may wanna search a set out elsewhere. You can find...

I think the brake parts are totally different. I know the wheel cylinders are. You need the 10 x 2.5" from just about any car dated from 1965 and newer. I got mine off a 79 Plymouth Volare (A member here hooked me up). Just about any car, truck or van will suffice. I assume your doing this for...

Thanks, I think I will stick with the 10" as I have heard some people "claim" to have issues with the huge 11" rear brakes on A-body's needing adjustable prop valves to "tune" them in and such.......Plus they say its overkill on an A-body. I do not have any experience with this so I cannot say...

What cars should I look for to get the correct backing plates/drums etcc for use with my 8 3/4 rear? What is interchangable as far as the 4.5" big bolt pattern is concerned??....Thanks.

Guys, I have a nice set of the 10" backing plates that had the 10x 1 3/4 shoes on them. They came with my 8 3/4 rear, small bolt pattern axle setup. Im thinking of going large bolt pattern on the rear axles by getting a set of the yukon axles they make. Now, if I go with this, can I use the 10"...

Its all up to you, read what they have to say...prsonally, I would use the 73-76 stuff from an A-body http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/spindles.shtml
