While tubing is measured on the outside, pipe is measured on the inside diameter so 1/8" looks a lot larger.

It might have been better to have a 90° or 70° angled fitting to avoid bending the hose.

1970 FSM is like that too.

Besides separating, it can attract any impurities that were harmlessly suspended in the DOT3/4 fluid and cause clumping problems, possibly restricting smaller orifices.

DOT 4 is just better, but no ill effects if you use it instead of DOT 3. It's like putting premium gas in your 318 instead of regular - not going to hurt it.

While I like RE, and have bought stuff from him in the past, in this case he is incorrect. The DOT specs do specify composition, and that's the reason why DOT 3 and 4 are clear or light amber, while DOT 5 is purple, to make sure people are aware there's a difference when they grab a bottle.

Because DOT 5 is silicone based, it is about as safe as synthetic car wax on your paint.

The springs should have some arch when there's nothing in the trunk, BUT it also mentions in the Mopar book on suspensions that the best handling is achieved when the springs are flat

Well, last year the offshore Cardone replacements were $100 but they seem to have dried up now. https://www.carid.com/1968-dodge-charger-brake-parts/cardone-reman-disc-brake-caliper-468169425.html?parentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|R%2FT

Although you've replaced the valves, I'd disconnect the passenger brake line at the front metering valve (after the distribution block) to be sure that fluid is pumping from there in sufficient volume. If no, I'd suspect a faulty valve. If yes, then disconnect the line at the brake piston (not...

By the way Prusakowski, Welcome! Why not head over to the welcome forum and introduce yourself and your car to the others? :)

I'd bet that most 140 mph. strip cars haven't got a whole lot of vacuum for the brakes anyway.

From the 1969 Field Service Manual:

That is correctable with a drill.

How much horsepower the pump loses depends on so many things; which type of pump, as there are several. Do you mean while driving straight, or turning? Turning while barely moving there by adding resistance, or at high road speeds? Power loss at idle, or maximum speed - what's your redline...

If you know anyone with a lathe, you can easily turn down some DELRIN stock to make bushings. Delrin Bushings

If you're using a nut with slots, you can encounter the problem you described. That's why Chrysler used these stamped sheetmetal locks to fit over standard nuts, it's easier to get close to the desired location.
