    Dot 5 mixing

    I changed to DOT-5 3 years ago. DOT 5 wasn't as expensive as today. I used at least a bottle and a half to flush out the old DOT 3. It was just as good as the DOT-3 plus the added advantage of no paint damage.

    Bilstein shocks + PST front sway bar + PST torsion bars totally transformed my charger. It handles a beauty. Rear sway bar eventually

    Poor brakes for the first 5 minutes

    to be honest I also don't think they're cool. They look too modern on the car. They are very practical though. I threw the towel after pulling the gauges out for the fifth time. Oil gauge dies first, then the speedo return spring got unwound, clock died, switches etc etc I might trying to...

    Poor brakes for the first 5 minutes

    Thanks for the info M&M, my bad for not explaining myself well. Cold start (on choke it) idles at 1,200 rpm. Once warm, idle drops to 650-700 rpm. Vac of 15mmHg is at 700rpm idle. The car was originally a 4 pot front disc / rear drum car. The previous owner swapped the front calipers to an A...

    Poor brakes for the first 5 minutes

    I could but that's not the issue at stake. At slow speeds on cold brakes I would rear end someone if I don't stand on the pedal.

    Poor brakes for the first 5 minutes

    Thanks for all your replies. Vac source is where it should be, triple checked that. Pedal behaving normally as in, the pedal pulls down when I start the engine. The behaviour doesn't change once brakes are warm. Idle set at around 2000-2300 rpm I had this problem when I was on DOT 4 fluid...

    Single vs Dual Diaphragm booster - is there a way to tell?

    Thanks for that. How do you tell if it's single or double? The size of it?

    Single vs Dual Diaphragm booster - is there a way to tell?

    Is there a way to tell if my booster is dual or single diaphragm from the outside? There's no way to know from the history of the vehicle. It has discs in front and rear drums. Thanks in advance.

    looking for advice on suspension, brakes etc

    hey mate, I just did the suspension on my Charger using all PST stuff - torsion bars, front sway bar etc. I used Bilstein shocks. I'm yet to install the adjustable UCAs. The difference is night and day. The car is so much better to drive It doesn't feel like a boat anymore and it's planted in...

    Drop Style Pitman Arm?

    I have a 69 Charger / 383 and Hooker headers and they fit will. The pitman just clears the headers with no rubbing. Something is not right.
