Sorry man I tried to find the answer on this in previous threads and came up empty. I pulled the manual 9 inch drums off the front and rear of my 67, and I'm going with 11" drums in the rear on an 8.25 and 11.75" disks in the front. I also have the correct prop valve off a disk car. I assume...

I know the existing e brake cables work in this upgrade, but do I also use the existing e brake lever and the piece that runs between the shoes just under the wheel cylinder, or are they different for 11" brakes vs 10?

Through the years I've picked up multiple pairs of 11" backing plates off large 8 3/4 cars. Now I'm considering using a set on a 73 Duster 8 1/4. How can I tell which size drums and shoes I need to order. I read somewhere they are not interchangeable, and the possibilities are 11x2, 11x2.5...

I'm working on a 73 8 1/4 that has no brake lines between the wheel cylinders. I was looking at the tee block on ebay from inline tube, and it says 1959 to 1996. Does that mean I can go to the Upullit and take one off an 80's van. That'd be like 5 bucks as opposed to 35 for a tee block and...

Some years ago I bought a pair of 8 3/4 axles that were redrilled for bbp. My thinking was change the axles and buy new 10" drums from a 73 up car and I'm on my way. Now I'm not so sure. My 8 3/4 has 10x1.75 shoes on it, and it looks like the 73 up shoes are 10x2.5. Am I missing something or...

So here I am freezing my butt off in Pennsylvania in this drafty old house, and every winter I start to think too much. So here's this years installment of my possibly misconceived thoughts. I read an article about a guy that took the hydroboost system off a wrecked cummins pickup and installed...

I have both the pin and slider type brackets, and I'm trying to price pads for each. Is it possible they both take the same pad? When I look up the application (78 Cordoba) it seems to only list the slider type pad, but I'm relatively certain the pin brackets also came off a 78 or so Cordoba...

Need some advice fellas. My brother and I are combining forces to finish a 67 Barracuda convertible. It now as 9" drums. He has a complete Kelsey Hayes setup for the front, but no set wheel option. I have the 11.75 B-body setup with 73-76 UCA's, and a really good set of 15x7 rallys with new...

For the last couple years I've been working on my car and at times second guessing my decision to stay low buck and go with 11" rear drums on my car. As time goes by, I become more and more convinced it was the right call. The rear disk kits are great, but none of them, and I mean none of...

I fiound a 95 Grand Cherokee in my local U-pull it. A couple questions if you can help me out. 1. I understand they have either a Dana 35 or Dana 44 in them, and that both are good to go for the 8.25 swap, a bolt on mission, correct? 2. Will I need to pull the Jeep's rear end cover and...

I was gonna go with manual brakes, but my local U-pick it junkyard just got in an 80 diplomat, definitely garage kept and grandma driven with ultra low miles (and smashed in the rear). The engine compartment is immaculate. I had read the power booster and later master cylinder are good for us...
