bolt pattern

[farmer260]

hey guys you have already covered this i bet but i was wondering what is the "small" and what is the "large" bolt pattern on a 73 dart sport? i have 5 bolt with 4 1/2 inch's from the outside of one hole to the center of the 3rd hole!

small bolt is 5 on 4 and big bolt is 5 on 4 1/2

That's the correct way to measure for bolt circle, tells me yours is 4 1/2"

Yup, a lot more than I had.

With a V8 you almost have to have 4.5" bolt circle. That way you can have better brakes too(discs).

Though it's true that you should be running front disc's for V8's, the 4 piston calipers with the 5 x 4" bolt circle work fine IMO.
