    Wilwood Brakes 140-11019

    I just installed Wilwood's kit #140-11019 which is the non-drilled/slotted version. I weighed each piece the kit replaced versus the kit itself and was floored at the weight savings...47lbs. total off the front end. Wilwood claims between 30-40 lbs. so I was expecting the bottom of that range...

    Adjustable brake push rod?

    Bill, I pulled the "do not use master cylinders from FWD cars" from this MOPAR ACTION tech article: http://www.moparaction.com/tech/archive/disc-main.html The exact mechanical reason was not stated but, since the used a "!" at the end of that statement I figured there was a real good reason...

    Drum to Disc on Early A Body Problem

    I have done research on this and on A-bodies the calipers are to be mounted in front mostly to safely run the brake lines without them rubbing or binding your suspension. But, you also want to make sure the bleed valves are at the top and pointing up to properly bleed the air. Calipers can be...

    Adjustable brake push rod?

    Gentleman: I caught this thread doing research for a 4 to 2-bolt aluminum MC switch. "Dr Diff" says their 2-bolt MC with provided 4-bolt adapter will accept the stock manual brake rod; at least for a 71 DART/Demon. The shallower depth of the 2-bolt MC is offset by the depth of the adapter...

    4-bolt to 2-bolt Master Cylinder conversion on 71 Demon/Dart

    Gang of people with great taste: Has anyone done this conversion to get rid of that iron lump or 4-bolt iron master cylinder (MC)? Specifically, have you used an aftermarket MC or reconditioned later model MC...and does the manual brake stock push rod fit the 2-bolt MC and adapter...

    1971 Dodge Demon Prostreet. Muscle Motors' built SB 440 (bored & stroked Mopar R3 race block) runs on E-85 with ported and polished Edelbrock heads and custom intake manifold. The 671 was rebuild for E-85 by BDS with two Quick Fuel 750 CFM carbs. The engine was dyno'ed at Muscle Motors...

    Stock ('73 type) Versus Aftermarket Front Brakes on 1,000HP'71 ProStreet Dodge Demon

    Members: I am at a crossroad on whether it's worth upgrading to aftermarket calipers and rotors on my 1971 Pro-street Demon that already has stock-style 73 brakes. The stock master cylinder needs to go and I cannot bleed the system on the driver's side due to the bleed nipple being broken...

    Indy mod man manifold opinions

    On my '71 Demon setup I have an old "OFFY" 4bbl manifold welded for a 671 sitting on a R3 sm. block stroked to 440ci on E-85. The manifold works okay but am having A/F distribution issues. First, is a "dizzy" the distributor? What did you have to do to get it to fit? Thanks for any help as...

    Who's running a 671/871 on 340 A-Body

    I need photos/help on a 671 blown 340 in a Demon (bought via E-Bay). The help is on the crank pulley/blower drive spacing and set up. The previous owner somehow smashed asymetrical 6-bolt spacers through a stock (symetrical) crank alt/water pump drive pulley and damper. How? I do not...
