All 66-70 factory front disc brake B and E bodies come with 10x2.5" rear drums. Engine and trans do not matter.
Only exception is T/A and AAR have 11x2.5" rears.
Hose clamp is the winner. You can adjust the height of it and get it in the right spot, the cable comes right out.
How do you depress and hold 3 tangs with needle nose pliers?
I bought one from NAPA for a 1973 Dart with manual disc brake. It had the groove and pedal feel is just right.
But this was 30 years ago. Don't know what they sell for that now.
Normal for the height to change after driving the car. It will go lower if anything, and maybe not the same on each side. So get it close and drive it. Jouncing is fine but usually not enough to end the changes in height.
The manual doesn't say to lift the front end when adjusting height. When bolts are new and free from rust and dirt at the factory it won't harm them. For us 50+ years later it helps to wire brush and lube them and to raise the front end to have less load on the bolts. People have stripped them...
Plain old PS fluid. Not the kind that will stop or prevent leaks. That's just a gimmick that won't work anyway.
Don't use any ATF or anything synthetic. Yes newer mopars use ATF+4, but this ain't a newer mopar, so it's wrong.
Don't run the car like this. The valve on top has been moved, and it needs to be moved back. Two bolts screw in straight down, holds the valve to the box. Now loosen and slide valve the other direction forward or back. It is slid all the way one direction right now.
Guys, it's been 50+ years, things get swapped on these cars.
These bolts sit still for years and if you dont spend some time wire brushing rust, degreasing and soaking with penetrant they will not tirn smooth and destroy themselves. Sometime you can't save them.
There are different length bolts for these from
Chrysler. I don't t believe the length matters much as long as you have threads left to adjust it.
Factory bolts generally better than the aftermarket
It went to supply vacuum to the speed control. You don't use speed control and power brakes at the same time, the brake pedal cancels the speed control.
It does not go to and vacuum canister, they has a specific supply line.
The hole is in a different place for manual vs power brakes. Power is higher up. Looks like they had a manual plate and made it fit Power brakes.
You are keeping power brakes? That's the round hole type.
You may need to remove the block from the housing to get a good grip on the damaged nut with a 3/8" wrench or vise grips. File some on th damaged nut somthe wrench will go on. Then hold the block with pliers To loosen the nut.
People that operate like this need some consequences for damaging...
