    4 wheel disc conversion on 69 Road Runner

    There is no brake adjustment for rear disc rakes. Except a proportioning valve. With rear drum brakes you can raise the pedal by simply adjusting the shoes to have a closer fit to the drums. You are suffering the same fate as 90% of the people who do dis brake conversions using non factory...

    Anyone use 68-70 AMD door hinges?

    The AMD and Goodmark fit, they just don't last a long time with constant use. Lower grade import steel used. Taiwan. The pin bushing kits are parts that are just cobbled together. Never such a thing as a real pin bushing kit to go on a set of hinges that were not designed to take the bushings...

    In Car Valve Spring Removal

    All of this trouble because the op is afraid to do it right. People miles don't mean a thing when it comes to seals and rubber parts. It is age that matters.

    higher output alternator vs smaller pulley

    You shouldn't run faster to gain power. Use relays in your electrical system when available to cut down on power demand. If you need more towing power on the highway, lower gears just make your top speed lower.

    74 Charger brake issues

    Did you do a 4 wheel disc brake conversion ?? If so, you have fallen victim to what most guys experience when doing this. Is the car driven in autocross or an application which require constant brake modulating ? If not, the rear brakes are mostly for looks and not function. Go back to rear...
