My 68 Satellite is all stock with a 318. No sway bars at all. Everything in suspension is near new. Would I notice a substantial difference If I put a front sway bar on? I don't want to take curves hard, but just want it not to lean so much going around a corner..............................MO
I put power brake booster and toggle link on my 68 Plymouth witch came from the factory with non boosted brakes. I bought a rebuilt booster from my local parts house. It did not have installation instructions. I could not get the brakes to work , and finally took it to a mechanic. He told...
Speaking of brake parts, I can no longer find, locally, name brand brake components. Even if they are made off shore, the name brands are made to their specs, and the stuff I have been finding is marginal at best. ( O'rileys- Car quest - etc. ) Gripes me when the counter person says " OH...
The parking brake strut is confusing on the 10" drums. Some pics and aftermarket struts show they are flat. My factory service manual pictures the 10" as having a 90 degree bend along it's length , like the 11" strut. Is that for strength or for clearance? I used the flat one, and they...
I think so, if you change all the rubber parts to unused. New Wheel brake cylinders are not expensive, why not just replace them too? .......................MO
If all your components are new, no mixture at all with other types, I say Dot five all the way. I ruined my new paint because of Dot 3 and a very small MC leak. Drawback to Dot 5, it might boil under extreme heat such as in road course racing......MO
Yes, it was pulling slightly to the left, and I corrected that by centering the top of the valve body. I just recently learned that could be done. Saved me from having my front end alignment re-done.
According to other internet research , it was mentioned that the coil spring can be...
1968 Satellite Roadrunner GTX.. Valve body on top of power steering box. PS fluid return line goes into it.
Under that top cap retained with the two bolts and it is sealed with O rings around the ports, there is also a coil spring . One end of it the coils are close together and the other...
1968 Satellite, converting from manual drums to power drums. The booster and master cylinder sit higher in the engine bay. You will need to use the correct plate on the engine side of firewall to mount the booster to. the booster will have a " toggle " linkage that goes on the inside of...
The master cyl is easy. The booster, not so much. Where the booster push rod is, under the dash is a real PITA. There is a " toggle" linkage there that yo should take pictures of before you remove it. There is a coil spring that attaches to the push rod and goes up to the under dash bracket...
I had the same thing on my 64 Dodge. The local alignment guru said he couldn't do it properly as he had to go off the rear wheels, and his equipment would not fit. He sent me to another " old school" shop 50 miles away, and they did a fine job.........MO
Not sure what the air shocks will do for you, but to get correct alignment on the front, the rear will have to be at expected ride height. ..........................MO
Yup, he has gone to a new home, and I am glad it is a good one. Buyer was very happy , and they sent pics and text of cruising around when they got home. They took it to show his father, who once owned a 1964 Dodge. ...........................MO
Sounds like a great plan. I will bring my Satty over and we can see exactly what I need. . I see Rock auto has a rebuilt combo MC and brake booster, so I am sure I can source those locally. Thanks Dale.....................MO
Not sure what they look like, but the swap meet over at Mopars on the Mississippi may have a firewall booster plate and a pushrod. And I will find out If I need MC and booster cores.. As of now, I am planning on going there..............MO
The pushrod and firewall booster plate would most likely have to come from a parts car? The booster and master cylinder may still be available from my parts dealer. I will see if they have a core charge.
Dale, I sold Brutus ..thanks to your suggestion of Mn. and Wi. Craigs list. Friday...
