    proportioning valve or not?

    I think you have to make that decision based on how the brakes feel and the car stops. In a very good brake article it was mentioned that braking will change with circumstances such as a full tank versus an empty one! Only you can decide.

    Brake Booster "support" bracket difference?

    The '69 one is for power brakes. the manual brake plate will have a different shaped large hole as well as 4 holes for the master cylinder. I don't know squat about e-bodies.

    Proportioning Valve - can I make into a distribution block ?

    If you install that Willwood prop valve you need nothing else - out of the valve straight to the rear and out of the valve straight to each front brake.

    Master cylinder oe application.

    Damn, I just went through this but didn't keep notes! Go on the Rock Auto site and click a few years in the mid '80's for a mid-sized Mopar. When you click on the info for the m/c it will show the bore size. You can also buy a m/c from Strange with that bore size. Reasonably priced. Don't...

    Steering coupler roll pin hole alignment not correct

    There is no "roll pin hole" in the input shaft - just a groove around the whole thing. In the photo the hole is round all the way through so what's the issue ???

Pull the coupler back and then push it on while watching the hole. When its round and unobstructed all the way through that's...

    Brake shoe arching

    I once had that done. What I got back looked like it had been done with a disk grinder !! I'm going to hazard a guess that new shoes on new drums are a pretty good fit. If you were replacing one without the other you might have issues but even then, the wear is mostly the shoes so new ones would...

    Parking brake rear cable RE525

    Cables don't care which rear end - but "year" will matter. I always use RockAuto as a reference ... if you click highlighted part number beside any part it will list which makes, models and years the part fits. In your case the cables all fit 71-74 Chargers, etc.. HOWEVER it looks like there...
