‘68 Barracuda. Converting to front discs. Hard to find a good picture of the line/bracket for the fluid supply to the caliper (service manual calls it a “jumper tube”). This is the left side caliper with the line and bracket mounted the only way that makes sense to me. Wanted to make sure...

I need to replace a short section of the rear brake line. But first I need to remove the factory spring armor so I can cut the line and have room for the flare nut. Any tips for doing this? A pair of dikes or flush cuts and carefully try to snip one coil without damaging the line? This...

‘68 Barracuda. Pulled the factory drum/drum MC to replace it with a new drum/disc unit for my front disc conversion. The forum recommends the Raybestos MC36406 as this a non power assist swap and this MC has the desired 15/16” bore. (This thing is huge compared to the original!) However, the...

Got two mint KH SBP hubs and a set of mid 90’s new USA made rotors to assemble with new lugs (Dorman 610-130). Not sure of best procedure to do this. Should I use a press to push them in one at a time through both components simultaneously or use a hammer and punch? Already got new races in and...

Pretty sure my 10” front drums (‘68 Barrucuda) are out of round, so I’ve been wanting to replace them. Rock Auto currently has drums in stock. All the LH lugs on my car were already changed to RH lugs when I got it, but the drums are still firmly attached to both front hubs. I’m not sure if...

Finally got all the pistons out of the calipers. However, two of the rings that retain the dust seal boots came with them. Are theses press fit? Are they fixable? Bores are pretty good until just past the seal, then they’re pretty rusty and that’s why the retainer pulled off. FYI, to use...

My 68 Barracuda came with the brake parts to do a front disc swap when I bought it. Everything was pulled from a 67 Formula S. I’m trying to figure out the proportioning valve stuff. Attached is a picture of what came with the 67 stuff. Is the prop valve the smaller boxy thing? What is the...

As mentioned elsewhere, I have to sell my 68 fastback. Currently an all drum setup. I have the complete K/H setup off a 67 Formula S to add as a deal sweetener. Has all the little lines, hold downs, clips, special bolts etc. Brand new parts include: rotors, lower ball joints, master cylinder...

I am soooo frustrated! Spent the last 45 minutes simply trying to re-use my existing horseshoe clip for the e-brake arm on the trailing shoe, since the new shoes didn't come with new ones. This is on a '68 cuda with 10 inch drums. No matter what I do or how careful I am, the clip just flops...
