checking to see if anyone out there converted there brakes on a 1966 Dodge Dart. i want to go to a duel master cylinder and front disc brakes. I need name of companies, ect. , any information will be greatly appreciated.
i think i want to go with a brake booster and 15 inch wheels. this car will be a street driven car .Need to know a few things first.
-Do you want to stay with the stock 5x4" bolt circle wheels, or are your changing to the 5x4.5" fullsize bolt circle?
-Are you planning on staying with 14" wheels, or going with 15" or larger wheels? For what it's worth, there are no disc brakes that I know of that will work with the base model 13" wheels...
-Manual or power brakes?
-Ultimate goal for the car: Saturday ice cream cruiser up to full-boogy autocrosser?
All of this will affect which kits you may want to use.
That just leaves the bolt circle...i think i want to go with a brake booster and 15 inch wheels. this car will be a street driven car .
Can you tell me what your models to get the stock rotors and calipers from and what else I need I would like large bolt pattern and which rear axle should I change to. FYI I have it 1963 Dodge Dart drum bakes 13-in WheelsI decided to go with 73-76 A body disc brakes on my 65. I aam using LBP all the way around
Disc brakes were an option on all '73-6 A-bodies. All V8 models came with them. Any that came with disc brakes would also have a rear axle with the 4 1/2" bolt pattern wheels. They could have either a 7 1/4", or, 8 1/4" rear axle however, so, you'd just have to look under the car to see which one it has. Either will work, but, the 7 1/4" one is inferior in strength.So what am I looking for what 73 a body had disc brakes
As long as the horsepower is 350 or under and you're not drag racing, the 8 1/4 should work fine.I have the late model disk brakes on my 66 which includes the 7.25 BBP rear. I have a 8.75 housing but need all the guts. I have an 8.25 complete to include the SG. Im leaning toward the 8.25.
