    Power disk brakes 1966 Charger

    Yeah, a '67-up Chrysler master cylinder. Not GM.

    Power disk brakes 1966 Charger

    First, toss the GM master cylinder. The proper looking Bendix dual diaphragm power booster is being reproduced, and be purchased through most Mopar reproduction parts outlets ( Year One, Classic Industries, etc. ). Pick up a 1967 Charger disc brake ( different than drum brake ) master cylinder...

    70 RR drum to disc swap

    Back in the mid-'80's, I was using my 1964 Polara as an everyday summer car, driving it to work, etc. At the time, I was also on our rural VFD. One day, I was at work and my pager went off, signalling a fire. It turned out to be a structure fire, needing as many firefighters as possible. I left...

    70 RR drum to disc swap

    Yep, that is the same set-up that was optional on the 1970 RoadRunner. Single piston caliper with round slider pins. I have this exact conversion on my 1964 Polara. They actually came off a 1970 RR about 40 years ago. The spindles are interchangeable side for side. I hung my calipers at the...

    Adding rear sway bar pros or cons

    I have used the Firm Feel rear bar on my 1967 R/T with no fitment problems. It works great. It resembles the factory bar used in some E-bodies. It mounts to the frame rails instead of rear axle, so is unsprung weight.

    Adding rear sway bar pros or cons

    Many years ago, I took the complete rear sway bar setup out of a junkyard '80's Police Diplomat and installed it in my '67 Coronet station wagon. I had to modify the frame brackets because the B-body frame rail is wider than a Dippy rail. This made a huge difference in how the wagon handled. I...

    Brake Power Booster - 1965

    My 1964 Dodge service manual shows how this power booster can be disassembled and repaired. It looks pretty straight forward. I think that many larger centres have businesses that can rebuild a booster. I had my more complicated Bendix booster rebuilt in nearby London,Ontario, and it works fine...

    Brake Power Booster - 1965

    That's called a Midland-Ross. Single diaphragm. See if RockAuto sells a rebuild kit for it.

    Firm Feel 7/8 rear sway bar install

    I have had that rear bar on two of my cars, and the pipes clear fine. It was a factory bar on '80's Diplomat police car, so was made to clear exhaust. Similar to E-body and '71 and up B-body.

    FRONT BRAKE SETUP 62 DART

    Front wheel spindles for drum brakes were the same on B-bodies from 1962-1970, and are interchangeable side to side with no geometry problems. I put a disc brake setup from a 1970 B-body on my 1964 Polara. This was done almost 40 years ago, when you could still find this stuff in local junk...

    Firm Feel 7/8 rear sway bar install

    Years ago, I built a one-of-none 1967 Coronet R/T station wagon, complete with 440, 4-speed. In driving the car, I always felt the rear end of the car was kinda loose; "wagon" its tail. On junk yard trips, I found that '80's Diplomat police cars all had rear sway bars, and the rear ends were...

    Hissing from “Rebuilt” brake booster

    Take it back. Something wrong there.

    Leaf spring adjustment (tire rub)

    You would gain about an inch on each side using '66-'67 housing. Spring perches are the same. No need for change.

    I have a Disk brake conversion question

    It is just the fitting that is larger. This is done so you can not get the front and rear circuits mixed up at the master cylinder.

    Power steering pump identification

    Yeah, show us the back of the can.

    Need long distance help....

    My 1967 R/T is 440, power steering, no A/C. It has TRW pump with 5 1/2" pulley. Power steering belt is # 17411 ( 41" ). You can get one from RockAuto, CarQuest, O'Reilly's, etc.

    Leaf spring buckling upward

    I think what @dadsbee is getting at, is that forum members took time to volunteer help and suggestions, apparently 4 pages worth. Now you are back asking the same question. Really, most of us are quite willing to share our experience and knowledge with those following in our footsteps. At the...

    Leaf spring buckling upward

    This has happened to me too. Lots of times, when the weight is off the suspension, the rear shackle is pointed straight up/down. When the weight of the car comes back down, then it is 50/50 whether the shackle kicks back or ahead.

    Leaf spring buckling upward

    I have 3800 lb. SS springs under both my cars. If you look at your passenger side spring, you will notice that the leaf directly under the main leaf stops well short of the rear spring shackle. Compare it to the driver side spring where this underleaf extends almost to the rear shackle, giving...

    Brake light switch

    That switch looks like it could be used to activate cruise control. NO = brake lights NC = cruise control Pushing the brake pedal closes the NO side, turning on brake lights. At the same time, the NC side opens, shutting off the CC. Neat! It looks like a nice piece. I wish I had found it when I...
