    Which master cylinder bore size to use for power disc Kelsey/Hayes

    My 67 Barracuda has stock Kelsey Hayes power disc brakes were stolen from a 68 Valiant. I got the brakes, master, prop valve all at once. Only problem is that the fronts don't grab well/rears lock up and the pedal is not so firm. The master also leaks from the top due to rust so it's time to...

    What brake pads to use for Kelsey-Hayes setup?

    I have a 67 Barracuda 6 banger with a stock Kelsey-Hayes power front disc brake setup with 10" rear drums. It doesn't stop all that great, seems like the fronts are not grabbing like they should but they're way better than the original 9" drums. I now realize I need something that actually...

    Rear brakes lock up... front disc

    My 67 Notchback Barracuda has stock Kelsey-Hayes power front disc brakes and rear 10" drums on a 7-1/4" rearend. It stops fine most of the time except in hard braking the rears will lock up and send the car all over the road. It's really dangerous so I have to fix it. I've already tried...

    Soft pedal

    I have a 69 Barracuda with stock power disc brakes. The pedal always feels soft and doesn't stop worth the damn. I have bled the system numerous times and it never gets better. There's no air bubbles coming out when bleeding, only clean fluid. So I suspect a bad master cylinder but is there...

    Rear brakes lockup

    I have a 69 Barracuda fastback and have always had a problem with the rear brakes locking up sending the car into a spin. I updated the drum system to 72 front disc (small bolt pattern) and changed the master cylinder and proportioning valve at the same time. All parts came off a donor 72...
