This is a weird one for me. Overhauled the brakes on my 66 this spring and bought a reproduction master cylinder since the bowl in the old one was pretty rusty. The new one had a tapped port in the boss on the bottom with a plug in it that the old one didn’t have. The boss was there but no...

Made a dumb error and didn’t get the wheel cylinders rod connected to the shoe somehow. The piston over extended and leaked some DOT5 on the shoes. Of course the internet has 50% saying it can be cleaned with brake cleaner and 50% saying it can’t. So those that do a lot of brake work, what...

I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the front of my 66 Sat up without burying the adjuster screws so finally just bought a new set from PST and put them in today. Found my answer I guess. Old ones are 3-1/2” and new ones are 4 “ long. So what was original? I got the car sitting good...

Putting new shoes on a 67 GTX that I put shoes on 20+ years ago. Wanting to make sure I have the adjusters mounted correctly and didn’t screw it up 20 years ago. I believe the adjusters on the front end have the star adjuster towards the rear as this photo I found on the Internet shows and...

I’m changing out wheel cylinders on my 66 as part of an effort to switch brake fluid types. Although the old DOT3/4 had gone pretty bad the first wheel cylinder I removed looked pretty good inside. I would like to clean them up and rebuild for spares as I have a 66 and 67, both with all 11”...

What say you guys on this? I’ve just finished flushing my system with denatured alcohol and getting ready to install new wheel cylinders. I have a bench bleeding set up that I can out on it (MC is on the car - will have to pull the line off - stroke with pedal). It’s a 66 with a single pot...

I’m getting around to swapping in power steering on my 66 Satellite. I bought a power steering 1966 steering shaft and coupler to swap in, and a coupler rebuild kit from Steer & Gear. Both shafts (original manual and purchased PS) have the same type coupler with the same internals, and I’m...

This is becoming a long and expensive saga. Started out with noticing stopping power had gotten really sluggish in the car that had 100% of the brake system replaced 20 years ago. Just about the only used item was a booster I picked up. I installed brakes from the Praise Dyno Brake outfit...

I had my Midland single diaphragm booster rebuilt by Harmons and I’m in the process of reinstalling it. There’s a red cup insert on the front centering the pushrod and my questions is does this cup remove before bolting up the master cylinder or does it stay in place. It adds a slight drag on...

First off, I’ve never been inside a booster unit’s guts before so my knowledge of their inner workings is sparse. I have a used booster I put on my 67 GTX years ago and it’s never seemed to do much as brake effort remains high. But since holding the brake pedal down while starting the engine...

My wife’s Lexus RX350 wore the inside edge off the front, left tire so I had new tires mounted and alignment set by Discount Tires. Looks like the wear was due to the thrust angle off due to too much toe in and scrubbing the shoulder off correcting for the pull. But what surprised me was when...

Since my post on S&G Sport feel boxes wasn’t getting much response and their phone was busy when I called, I started browsing through threads and reading up on the Lares and Bergman boxes and have a couple of questions. Has anyone installed a Bergman (Borgeson) box on a stock 66 Hemi with TRW...

I’m wondering just how much heavier the “Sport” PS box is over the “Modern” effort box? Also are all of their power steering box firmness options all based on the same ratio gears and turns lock to lock. Or do they use a faster gear set in the Sport and Rally models? Not having much luck...

Planning to swap the manual steering over to power steering in my 66 Satellite with the one year only column. I’m trying to locate a proper shaft but not having much luck. I noticed on the Steer and Gear site they offer a complete conversion kit which has a note, instructions included on how...

I got nominated to press a friends new bushings and install new ball joints in these upper a-arm from a Challenger by virtue of having a 12 ton hydraulic press, a set of Mopar suspension tools and having rebuilt the front and rear suspensions on my 67. When I got home with them and looked them...

I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I only in the last couple days, checked the brake fluid on this car I bought last year. They told me they flushed the brakes before the car was picked up for shipping and I found there were so many other things needing obvious attention, that I figured the...

Does any one have a reference on a good quality master cylinder rebuild kit for the 66, single pot, manual brake master cylinder? I see a few old stock kits on eBay but I’m not crazy about putting 50 - 55 year old seals in mine. A Dorman kit part number for a kit would help, or for another...

I pulled my non-power, floor shift steering column out and I have a feeling it’s missing some parts. There seems to be nothing in the lower end of the column and the shaft just wiggles around loose in it past the upper bearing. There isn’t much info in the FSM that I have found. Surely there...

I’m sure they are noticeably firmer than the .92” bars for my 66 Hemi Satellite but are they still fairly compliant and not harsh? I’m not interested in an overly stiff ride but the Mopar .96” bars seem to be scarce right now. thanks

This is in reference to my earlier post on my 66 Satellite. Un-even front end height - 66 Satellite | For B Bodies Only Classic Mopar Forum May have found the issue with the uneven front height/bar adjustment. I went ahead and pulled both bars back out and it appears the one marked R was on...
