Outcome, in case anyone is interested: 9 inch drum brakes do not use the pushrods. The wheel cylinder pushes directly on the shoe. Hard to believe I've never encountered 9 inch brakes on a Mopar until now. Oh well, you learn something new every day, as they say. My lesson: Don't just rely on the...

I just found them at Jim's Auto Parts, p/n SP 840, $34.95 ea. Really? Really? I guess I may have to try the ones without the collar shape for $3 each. Looks like that just keeps the rod from falling out of the wheel cylinder cup when you remove the brakes.

Yeah, the ones with the groove - like in the first pic - are all I have ever encountered on the many 67-72 Mopars I've been playing with over the years.

Welcome Bob. Are you looking for a project or a finished car?

I used a combination of Nordskog and Dakota Digital instruments. It's been quite a while since I built this, but I believe the speedo is a Nordskog. They used to make a universal kit that had all of the gauges as just separate circuit boards. I'm not a fan of the LED "sweeps" they used because...

He's referring to the dash I fabricated. Pics are earlier in this thread.

I'm going to bump this for you because I have the exact same issue on a 440. Please let us know if/when you find out what the problem is.

YES! He got a very nice car. BTW, I still have THIS very nice car for sale: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=106834 :-)

Sorry, it's been sold.
