    dart master cylinder

    I like the aluminum, 2 bolt Mopar style. You will need a adapter plate (make one) and may need a adjustable push rod. Just use a adjustable proportioning valve to tune the bias pressures. Mike

    I would like to see how it moves during suspension travel/steering before judgment. Mike

    proportioning valve or not?

    Lots of cars have less friction material on the rear shoes to accomplish the same results. Mike

    Which power steering fluid to use ????

    It did the trick in my 65 Coronet steering gear. Been leak free for 4 years now. Mike

    Suicide single to Dual M.C. studs or bolts

    When I switched my 65 Coronet to a dual master system, the original MC studs were too small to cut new splines in the dual cylinder so, I used JB Weld and epoxied them in. Worked great! Mike

    Front brakes lock up too easily?

    So, perhaps the shoe diameter more closely matches the drums on the front? Ahh the good old days of grinding/arcing the shoes to fit! Loved the smell of that asbestos! Mike

    Front brakes lock up too easily?

    Ok. I should have phrased that less confusingly. Long lining always goes to the rear. It is the extra friction that makes the brakes "self energizing"! Mike

    Front brakes lock up too easily?

    Are the longer secondary linings on the front VS the rear- where they belong? Mike

    Brake caliper clearance

    Calipers are quite thick. I believe some clearance can be had with some grinding on the caliper housing. Mike

    steering issues

    You need to adjust the control valve assembly, on the top at the return hose connection. 2- 1/4" cap screws retain the valve. Loosen them a little bit and slide the valve front or rearward with a plastic hammer to center the valve. Do it running , off the ground, and remember that the valve is...

    Power steering hose and AN fittings

    Only on the return side. The high pressure side will blow the hoses off. Mike

    Help with master cylinder/1966 Satellite 318ci

    When I updated my 65 Coronet, I priced a rebuilt single and a 1966 dual MC. The dual was at least 5 dollars less expensive-on Rock Auto. Replumbing is easy. Just cut and flare the rear connection and plug the extra port on the brass block. I think your 66 block is different but, similar. Mike

    Steering coupler roll pin hole alignment not correct

    Perhaps you could run a drill through the assembled items and get a new pin? If this is not a restoration, a bolt with self locking nut could be used also (grade 8 hardware). Mike

    Upper control arms adjuster washer pocket

    Put a cam in the pocket and determine that it will be contained in the pocket. If necessary, the pocket rim may have to be reshaped. A hammer with chisel and/or punch should do the job. Mike
