So I can't upload pictures but I'll update. It's done. Here's what I did. Used a sledge and a price of 4x4 wood to knock out the pushrod from the piston after I removed the snap ring. The snap ring holds the piston assembly in the master cylinder. I could knock out the pushrod by itself so I...
That looks great!! Do I need to reuse anything from the old pushrod? Clips or any of the piston guts I just ripped out of the master cylinder? Thank you!
So I've decided to replace my master cylinder. 71 charger 318 with drums all around. No brake booster. So I took the lines off and then the pushrod was unscrewed from the brake pedal. I've read that the pushrod can be forced out of the old master cylinder, just damaging internal parts I don't...
Ok that worked. Thanks for that idea! What I'm trying to solve now is getting to the head bolt behind the exhaust on the passenger side. Seems tight and I'm not sure how to get that middle bolt behind the exhaust. Might have to remove the exhaust I guess?
So either I'm missing something or this rust is hardcore! I have the 5 lower cylinder head bolts out and the 6 upper bolts out. The intake manifold is on the garage floor. The exhaust is off the head but for the life of me can't bust the dern head off! Crowbar. 2x4 and rubber mallet. Breaker bar...
Hey everyone. First of all thanks for all the help you guys have already given me. My engine runs because of it lol. So it was running. I lost compression on my entire left bank after it sat for a few months. Figured I'd check head gaskets. So I've got the valve cover off. Pushrods out. Intake...
Looking for the front drum/hub assembly for a 71 charger with a 318. It's a 10" x 2 1/2" drum. Believe the part # is 3580630 but may have kh numbers stamped on the inside. Thank you!

Oh. Passenger side.
Hey everyone. So I'm an idiot and didn't know my front hub and drum were connected. So heating it and banging it with a hammer resulted in cracking the hub before I realized it just slides off as one piece. It says d4 and the next line down says KH70589. I've learned Kh probly means Kelsey...
Yea I've disconnected the wheel cylinder too. And yes I tried the adjusting screw. No luck there. Well I might try a puller, maybe just angle grind this sob. Thanks for the advice guys!
So first a huge thanks to everyone that's helped me so far, my project 71 charger is (well was lol) coming along nicely!
My rear drum is not budging. It's not locked up from rust as it does wiggle. It just went let go something. Here's what I've tried. Bfh and very bfh. Pb blaster. Heat from...
That's what I figured. The wiring is old and some of it doesn't even work. Headlights, key switch. I figure I'd just replace the whole thing. Cheap insurance. I'm in Ocala by the way. You?
Hey everyone, thanks for the help you've given me so far! So I've exposed every wire in my car and am ready to start a rewire job. I'd like to make this endevour as smooth as possible tho. I'm pretty amateur in terms of electrical and I'd say I just have a very basic understanding of how wiring...
Thanks for holding my hand thru that guys. Got the rest of everything off and was able to remove the instrument panel with your help. Now I'm just blankly staring at a million wires :flushed:. YearOne might be getting a lot of my money lol I'll be in the electrical section for a while!
