    Soft Brake Pedal to Floor on 4 Wheel Drum Manual Brake System - 69 Charger

    When you changed the brake shoes you've effectively changed the required volume of fluid in the master. Thicker shoes/less fluid. Did you notice any fluid leaking from the master cap during the bleeding process? On a single pot, it may be benificial to leave the master cap off when bleeding the...

    Ubolts too tight -> distorted axle???

    45 ft/lbs is with new hardware. Bare in mind that once torqued, those bolts have stretched some. The standard is 5 ft/lbs over for bolts that have been in service. If you don't know the installed torque value, you're better off replacing with new stuff. Also, check the service manual, as...

    Lack Luster Brakes

    Used to be that brake shoes were ground down to match the curve of the drums. It wouldn't surprise me if it was found that the shoes are contacting the drums only on the high spots. Cheaply built chinese junk and all. Pull the drums and make sure the shoes are making full contact.

    Brake issues

    "Disc doesn't require the rcv but drum does." Not to be contrary here, but all that rcv does is hold a a constant (not cumulative) pressure to minimize pad travel to engagement of the disc. Over 5 lbs causes problems. I run 2lb rcv's on the front. No problems, on a 4 disc system. I lean towards...

    Front disc brake conversion kits

    All Rick is saying, that if you are willing to take the time, and enjoy the hunt, that you're not tied down to using ready made kits available from trusted vendors. Evidently, they've done the homework, and offer kits available more so for those that want a quick and easy conversion. What the...

    From bad to worse... whats the magic part number? (Could really use your expertise)

    "Go to a hydraulic shop and have them make what you need." Agree with @Jerry Hall The shop may not have to make a custom hose for you, and may be able to suggest different fittings or adapters needed to complete your installation.

    In the interest of engineering alternatives, you can bail if you wish. But the chassis we designed requires no roll center adjustment. It's fixed via weight calculations around a roll center that remains constant. The only suspension system that allows for your requested adjustment for roll...

    68 Charger brake question

    Could be that the residual check valves internal to the master were removed.

    You can also rotate the Watts 90deg from that illustration and mount the link bars side to side.

    Replacing Master Cylinder

    I am in 100% agreement that the OP should make an attempt to upgrade his braking system for safety's sake. It won't detract from the cars value, and certainly could save someone's life.

    What caught up with us is the initial design was for a strip runner. We ordered Koni drag shocks (circa 2001). They're not the best for the street, and the performance can be felt. Strong on jounce, soft on rebound. Gotta wait 'til I'm a few bucks richer to get some better shocks.

    Replacing Master Cylinder

    Hold the head with a wrench. Blast the nuts with penetrant. Break out the 1/2" drive impact, an extension, and a wobble socket. They'll either come loose or twist off. In which case you can drive 'em out with a punch and replace with new. Don't fight it. Years of working on stuff as much as 80...

    I left the Jacob's ladder off the list mainly due to this type axle housing control "system" being mainly used on sprint cars with the ability to raise and lower roll centers, though they do offer suspension adjustments as well. Sprint car chassis are narrow, and as such, limit the lengths of...

    It's how we designed the brackets that mount the link bars to the frame. The links use the same rubber as the 4-link bars. The Watts Link bars help to reduce axle housing rotation as well as keeping the housing centered.

    The chassis we built was initially designed for strictly strip use but ended up designing for street and strip, which added quite a bit of build time. Novice to Mopars drivetrain we pulled an axle out from under a Dodge Diplomat police cruiser and shortened it by 6 inches. The 4 link kit we...
