Did you install an adjustable push rod that has a fat heim joint that attaches to the brake pedal? I had the same problem as you and after a lot of screwing around found the heim joint was binding against the brake pedal and wouldn't allow full travel of the pedal. A little grinding on both the...

I can't help with the rear drum situation but once had a problem with crappy brake performance and overheating and found the culprit to be the adjustable aftermarket push rod where the heim joint end rubbed on the brake pedal.

I had a similar problem. I installed an adjustable push rod from a vendor advertising here (Can.t remember who). It had a rather large heim joint on the pedal end and came with two washers that I presume were meant to straddle the joint. Upon installation, I noticed the rod didn't appear to...

I've got '71 Cuda pin type calipers on my '71 Dart. The calipers came from Rock Auto with a bent piece of wire that I installed. I didn't have the anti rattle springs that fit on the lower caliper bolts but didn't see this as a problem since Rick Ehrenberg in his Disc-o-tech article stated they...

Had a problem with an old Ford pickup once... The replacement master cylinder where the actuator rod went in was considerably deeper so essentially, the rod was too short. When I pumped the pedal there was only a minimum stroke of the piston in the MC. Took awhile to figure that one out. Make...
