b body brakes for my e body challenger

Robert Jones · Dec 10, 2021

Allpar ha a nice write up on how to install 1978? era cordoba (and others) front rotors and calipers on my 1973 challenger. I am looking for a parts guide 1976? to 1978 Cordoba so i can find the OEM parts numbers to begin my search for the caliper brackets and guide bolys (for the pin style calipers)
Or if someone could post the numbers here ? I would really like to have the parts guide to download tho.

You’re better off to find used 1973 and up A body spindles from cars factory equipped with disc brakes. Grab the proportioning valve too. You’ll need a disc brake master cylinder for your application. Then the rest of the parts are off the shelf rock auto items. 1973 dart, duster etc…. To about 1985 dodge diplomat, Chrysler fifth ave and everything in between that uses a floating caliper use the same brake parts (calipers, rotors, pads, hoses etc…..)

There are many conversion posts and threads on the site that have covered this. You should look them up, they will have all the info you need

I may actually have a spare set up that I may sell, I’d have to think about it some. You can message me if you’re interested

The Pin type brackets are a bit hard to find for the larger 11.75 rotor and expensive to boot. I have been running the smaller ones and they stop fine with manual master. E-Booger has a good writeup see his Disco Tech article in Mopar Action. Hope this helps. Wagonman.

Cool. The parts list was dead on allpar. That why I'm looking for a parts guide for cordoba

You didn't say but I'm assuming your Challenger equipped with disc brakes?
If not, caliper adapters won't bolt to drum brake spindles.
The slider caliper conversion kits easiest way to go for drum brake cars and saves time looking for parts.
Check https://www.doctordiff.com/front-disc-brake-kit-for-11.75-on-disc-knuckles.html a reasonably priced kit.
Check other posts on this forum for ideas.
Another source for Mopars with large rotor pin style calipers would be rockauto.com
you can look up listings for years and models to search in salvage yards.
Hope this helps.
