After many years of dealing with health issues, I’m finally starting to look at working on my Coronet again. The car is a driver and I want to get it road worthy (safe) this summer and then do winter projects on sections of the car so it’s not down during the summer months (being a vert in WA state).
There are two main areas to start with, brakes and radiator. Brakes is number one.
My car is a “H code” 383/4bbl/auto with factory power 11” drums on all four. I have a complete set of 74 A-body disc brakes from upper arms down to spindles. I’ve read numerous article from Mopar Action, Mopar Muscle etc but those are from at least 8 years ago, probably more.
So what is the most popular brake swap, with parts list/numbers, being done today?
Are we still doing the A-body spindles with Cordoba rotors, calipers/brackets combo? What about my power booster, is it compatible, do I just need to add a proportioning valve on the rear line? If so I’ll probably send it to Booster Dewie for a restore.
Thanks for any and all comments and advice.
