Including a final photo of the passenger's side. I did drill one hole in the radiator support for the passenger side ground wire.

There is one connector that has the male socket that connects the signal input from the factory dual beam driver's side. The new sockets for the headlamps have ceramic plugs which are designed for the higher heat of halogen headlamps. I did not have to remove the headlamps. There is plenty of...

I mounted the relays on the radiator support. There is plenty of room there. I know some guys want to hide them under the battery tray but I didn't see the need to do that. The fuses hang below the relays.

Then around the brake power booster to join the the factory wires and vacuum lines to the headlamps. My year has the vacuum powered hide away headlamps. I probably need another zip tie to clean it up a bit.

The power wires run along the firewall to the drivers side.

By request I am posting photos of mine. The power comes directly from the alternator, there are two wires to attach to the small post. I removed the plastic splash guard. The wires are really well away from the exhaust manifold. They run back along the hold down tabs on the valve cover.

I installed Rob's kit in my 1968 Charger today. The install very very straight forward and took me about an hour. The headlamps are much brighter. Thanks Rob!

I found this video to be very helpful.

I don't know because I had never tried to bleed them before. Yeah they feel great now so the bias is working as intended. Those combination valves for front disc/ rear drum have a metering valve for the front brakes that I think you are supposed to remove for a 4 way disc system. But am am no...

So continuing the brake saga with my 1968 Charger. I had recently reworked the rear drum brakes as they were sticking and grabbing. When I had my car transported south the driver used the parking brake which seized the rear brakes up. This got me working on the rear brakes which is another...

I figured they were shot anyway. Didn't want to leave any loose metal parts in the drum.

Yeah I know. Its kind of a hack, I saved all the parts. Maybe if I get ambitious I will replace all of the cables but I don't like working underneath vehicles anymore.

So I pulled my old shoes out of the trash can and cleaned them up and reinstalled them with new springs and adjusters. They have plenty of lining left. Problem solved. Here is a picture of the old shoes before I started this "project". Note that these shoes have the pin in the back shoe for the...

I joined this forum because this thread helped solve my grabbing brakes. The essence of the problem is that the after market parts look ups are giving us the wrong brake shoes. This was my completed work on the right rear of my 1968 Charger. Look closely at the shoe tabs. The top ones are...
