    Manual Front Disc Brakes - Okay?

    Sounds like you would be fine with manual front discs with all the response you've gotten. I agree as well! I might add: Another reason to not go power is all the hassle of connecting the power booster, having to make up new lines (with manual, you can literally use your existing lines) and not...

    I did the same thing (new rear brakes with new wheel cylinders, flushed all the lines and installed a proportioning valve). I think I just need your master cylinder. My pedal is like pushing on a boulder, super hard pedal with little stopping power. I believe I may be ordering one. Your system...

    NJRR, Do you have a good, solid pedal and is there alot of travel when you apply the brakes or does it stop quickly without much pedal travel? This may just be what I need. Thanks!

    Pirate Jack Retailer

    I'm glad you asked! I purchased my kit for my 67 Coronet from Pirate Jack's. I ordered the 11" drilled and slotted rotors and added the power option. Well it was a year before I had a chance to get this installed. Everything went great and fit perfectly as far as the rotors, calipers, ball...

    Steering column question

    Do you mean a column shift automatic or three speed compared to a 4 speed column? I believe a 4 speed column and a column for a floor shift automatic are the same. Obviously a column shift automatic or a three speed column shift would have the shifter assembly attached to the steering column...

    How much lift will that give you Billccm?

    Lifting rearend 69 RR

    Glad to see you raising instead of lowering! We need more of the old school, aggresive look! I realize it's just my opinion, but I'm right.... Ha!

    rear drums seem hot

    I agree with both the adjustment could be too tight and the emergency brake could be partially applied, not releasing all the way or adjusted too tight. Along with that, you could possibly have the primary and secondary shoes reversed (Primary is the one with the lesser amount of lining and goes...

    Master cylinder question

    Yes that is normal. You should have some plugs ready to go into the ports after you bench bleed and while you're installing the MC on your car. Then quickly remove the plugs and even quicklier (ha, new word), connect your lines. Do not push in the piston and release during this time and make...

    Yet Another Proportioning Valve Question

    I see that some of you who have done front disc brake/rear drum conversions have installed your adjustable proportioning valve right at the master cylinder, coming off the front port (farthest from firewall) and then running the line that was in that same master cylinder port into the other side...

    Adjustable Proportioning Valve or Non-Adjustable?

    With no proportioning valve at all, just the original distribution block? I guess if it works, it would save some plumbing! Thanks for the reply.

    Adjustable Proportioning Valve or Non-Adjustable?

    I'm converting my 67 Coronet to front 11"discs and keeping the rear original drums. I was sent the wrong booster, linkage and firewall plate and it got me to thinking... Should I just keep it manual? They said the MBM master cylinder can be used either way. The kit also contains an adjustable...

    Torsion Bar Markings

    Can't be the bushing, I just replaced all the control arms, I'd say the bar is just worn out. Nice GTX! It's good to see the pre '68 cars getting some glory! Thanks.

    Torsion Bar Markings

    Thanks again, I think I'll call around Tuesday and get some info and prices. I don't think I want to keep what I have with the left being cranked all the way in.

    Torsion Bar Markings

    I know it's been awhile (I've been on the road alot). I just finished the front suspension on my '67... New QA-1 upper and lower control arms, all new ball joints and all new tie rod ends. After all this , I have exactly the same problem... The left Torsion bar is cranked all the way in, the...

    Torsion Bar Markings

    That makes sense. The rubber in the left bushing was completely gone. When I removed the lower control arm, a small chunk of rubber fell to the floor, so it was basically metal to metal. I'm pretty sure that's the side that was cranked in all the way. the right bushing wasn't so bad. Maybe my...

    Torsion Bar Markings

    Hmmmnn, that's odd. According to my fender tag and Vin, my car is a factory 4 bbl 383 car without air. So since one is nearly cranked all the way in and the other about half to get the front even, I'm thinking the one is just really tired and worn out. Maybe I will try the Mopar Performance...

    Thanks for the reply PRND2L. Were you able to get your height without cranking them way in? Great looking Belvedere! Perfect stance!

    Torsion Bar Markings

    Does anyone know what these numbers mean? 1st picture is the left and is stamped: 777 ULT... 2nd pic is the right and is stamped: 776 CBW. I'm guessing 777 for left and 776 for right (odd left, even right), but have no clue what the letters mean. I like my suspension on my 67 Coronet raised...

    Upper Control Arm Bolt Access Plates

    I was thinking about doing that too.... I think this option will be much better, especially for the price. Good luck!
