I have a 1970 with the 318 and I love it runs good no problems with it and only 800 made in the WL platform. I have had hemi’s a and 440 six packs , this is my first 318 and I love it.

@DeltaV does your part book have a number for power drums master cylinder?

See below.

Parts manual shows 2808577 for power drum brakes in 1970.

I agreed then and I still agree.

2808 577

You, @davek , will find p/n 2808577 advertised for E-bodies, but it's a common part number across many of the other Mopar platforms for 1970.

Normal and just the way I like it... gas pedal height...
View attachment 1968627

The gas pedal should be fully on the corner of the heel pad.

Yep... if ACC put the pads in the correct spot in 1988 it would be !

OK got the master cylinder in and brakes bled today. 1 inch bore for PB drums.

Any big reason you didn't want to go Dot5 and avoid the potential of removing paint?
